Second, gravsurvey ships often don't make precursors come after them. Geological ships on the other hand.... Well, it's occupational hazard.
Three, twenty systems is really low number. The problem (or not?) with this game is that it generates new systems - and empires - as you progress. So while in other games you can safely stay in your system and the enemies will mind their own buisness, eventually coming to you, here you have to actually expand for new encounters to pop up - they simply won't come to you.
