Explorer Software Question

[STL_fpagsc]

I noticed that when I order a ship to explore a sector it only flies in two domensions. Is there any way to make it fly in three dimensions? (2D+one that appeares when you pess Insert on the sector map)

No. Most of the time that isn't an issue because most stations tend to be near the plane of the gates anyway. If you want to search in 3D you'll have to manually re-issue the Map Sector command, selecting different starting levels for each run.

Hello

I too have a question to ask about explorer commnand software. I thought it would probably be best to just add it to this existing thread rather than make a new one.

I noticed that you can command a ship to explore a sector, but then once its done you have to tell it to explore the next sector. But is there any way to command a ship to just keep exploring multiple sectors automaticly. Partly im asking because if you cant then surely that means that you have to have already discovered a sector yourself and have been there in order to tell a ship to explore it.

And it would be nice when starting a new game again to have a few ships automaticly exploring for you without stopping. so does anyone know if this is possible?

There's a 'go through gate' command, that once you've explored a sector and found the gates, you can order your explorer to go through one to an unexplored sector. I know in the Bonus Pack version in Reunion, if you hired a pilot for your explorer ship, it would automatically explore the next sector if you issued the 'go through gate' command. I don't think that made it into TC, though.
