I'm sure this has been posted somewhere, but I can't find it. I've managed to build a fleet and send it through a warp point and am now surveying a binary system. It occurs to me though that I don't know if my active search sensors are on or not, nor how to change this if I did know.
As an aside, I think I'm going to have to restart. My incompetent administration managed to LOSE a geological survey vessel in my home system, and I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO IT. I'd fire the Commander, but he vanished with his ship and I note that I never assigned a fleet commander, so that only leaves... me.
