Title: System Map Confusion. White Numbered Dots?
Post by: Adam on May 02, 2011, 11:42:39 PM: It says it all in the title really. I uh. . . don't really know what those white dots in the system map are. In Sol they exist in circles around the system numbered from 1-30. What are they exactly?

Grav-survey locations. Your grav survey ships go to each one, spend a little time surveying, and maybe find a warp point. If they're empty they haven't been surveyed yet (by you). If they're full then they have....

Have Fun!

Post by: Adam on May 02, 2011, 11:58:45 PM: Ahhh! Makes sense. As to why all these enemy ships are flying between each one. Maybe they haven't spotted my home planet? The odds of that are pretty low, since it lights up EM's like a christmas tree right?

It's also possible that they've spotted you but are ignoring you completely. And finally it's possible that they've spotted you and the invasion fleet is on its way. Have fun finding out!

Sounds like they're doing a grav survey. If they're hostile, you probably don't want them to grav survey your home system.

Then again, from your previous post... >.>
