Well I've taken the plunge and D/Led Aurora and I think I'm making a progress slowly with it. I've built survey ships, conducted research, assigned officers and other tasks etc.If you are trying to use the gravitional survey ships for geological surveys they will just sit there forever because they aren't generating any geological survey points. Clear their orders, go to the Special Orders tab of the Fleet window and give them a default order of Survey Nearest Survey Location. They will then survey the system by themselves.
However I'm puzzled by my Survey vessels, the 2 Geo ships are busy going from Asteroid to Asteroid which is fine. But my 2 Grav survey ships are stopped dead in their tracks. 1 made it as far as the Asteroid belt and now has the message.......(SP needed 10) and the other hasn't even left Earth with the message (SP needed 174)
Can anyone explain to me whats going on here and/or what I should be doing?
