Jump-Drive Surveyor Ship Not Surveying
« on: May 07, 2016, 12:56:11 PM »
First the specs:

1192 km/s    JR 1-25(C)     Armour 1-34     Shields 0-0     Sensors 1/1/8/8     Damage Control Rating 2     PPV 0
Maint Life 3.86 Years     MSP 1242    AFR 228%    IFR 3.2%    1YR 132    5YR 1974    Max Repair 150 MSP
Intended Deployment Time: 3 months    Spare Berths 2   

JC15K Commercial Jump Drive     Max Ship Size 15000 tons    Distance 25k km     Squadron Size 1
180 EP Commercial Ion Drive (1)    Power 180    Fuel Use 9.9%    Signature 180    Exp 5%
Fuel Capacity 750,000 Litres    Range 180.6 billion km   (1753 days at full power)

Improved Gravitational Sensors (4)   8 Survey Points Per Hour
Improved Geological Sensors (4)   8 Survey Points Per Hour

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes



I thought that I had created this ship to be an all in one system surveyor, able to jump in and take both geological and gravitational measurements. Its able to go through jump points alright, but once its in the new system I can't order it to do anything but return to its point of origin. What am I doing wrong?

Also, how do I switch back to viewing Sol? Whenever I click it in the galaxy map or click the system view button I get an error.

1) Does the new system have any system bodies?
2) Do you have automated orders set up?

Yeah, I jumped into another system and they were able to do geological surveys. Now the problem is I can't find the first system I jumped to on the galaxy map...

Shift click and hold to move the systems around on the galaxy map (you have to do it manually), they stack on top of each other otherwise. And you can switch systems with the dropdown on the left above all those tabs and under the buttons.
