How is exploration going to be handled with the auto-pilot system? In order to set something as your destination, wouldn't you have to know that it was there? Or are there probes that you can send out to locate unmapped stuff in a system?asked by holdencollards

The exploration part starts in known places / locations. As an example using something from the games lore, you would be able to navigate to the area of space called the Neso triangle. After some flying around / scanning you may find a gravitational anomaly. On further investigation you would realize its an uncharted jump point, which you could then try to navigate. If you do, then on your nav map that jump will now become a proper location...
