Thanks, that is what I thought.  So it is worth it.  At least if I have the teams to spare.  It also means that I should make lots of teams of the 10% survey officers, if I am not doing anything else with them.  Save the high survey numbers for task force survey officers and survey ship commanders.

Multiple ground survey teams won't necessarily work cooperatively to get it done faster, you'll just get multiple "dice rolls" to check for completion in each 5-day increment.

So I SMed 3 extra military academies at the start, along with 3 research facilities, and now I have an actual surplus of geo survey teams, awaiting jump theory to find new worlds to harass.  So I am switching from conventional shuttles to Nuclear Thermal, and I figured, "Why not make 10 crew shuttles, instead of 5?"  It is only slightly more expensive, since most of the payload is a full sized engineering module anyway.

Since I have a surplus of teams, will there be an speed advantage to having several of them working the same planet?  I will still go with the larger shuttle, because there will be some efficiencies in carrying two teams around.
