The ship will scan for foreign planets within range, and report you the results:

  • Owner of the planet
  • Industrialization degree (minimal, light, moderate, substantial, heavy)
  • If the ship has bioscanners, it will report the native population and the temperature of the planet

Industrialization increases a planet's probability to be seen on enemy sensors, defense reduces the probability.

(4.0) When ExtendedSensorSweep is enabled (default), the Sensor Sweep mission will also report mine fields (like mine sweep) and wormholes (like WRS) in range.

Preconditions:

  • ship has fuel

Relevant Configuration Options: AllowBioscanners, DefenseForUndetectable, ExtendedSensorSweep, FactoriesForDetectable, MinesForDetectable, SensorRange.

Relevant PControl Stages: MineSweeping, SensorSweep, WormholeScan.

Relevant Formulas: Sensor Sweep, Scanning for Wormholes.
