Extremely noobish question, it seems, but I have to ask.
I've finally built my first jump gate to a new system, and sent some Geosurvey ships through to check it out. When I got on the other side, however, I saw nothing. Just the star and some Gravitational Survey points. No planets, asteroids, comets, anything. Is this normal? None of my ships in-system have any active sensors, do I need to send something through to scout out the system?
I haven't checked out any other systems, so maybe this one is just a fluke, but any help would be appreciated.
