Boost your X4: Foundations exploration with efficient scanning. Deploy resource probes and advanced satellites to quickly find minerals and monitor trade hubs.
'Efficient Exploration & Scanning' can save you valuable time and uncover hidden opportunities. When entering a new sector, immediately deploy a 'Resource Probe' (Shift+3) to reveal mineral and gas fields. Use your long-range scanner (Shift+2, hold) to quickly identify unknown stations and jump gates. Deploy 'Advanced Satellites' (Shift+3) in key trade hubs to monitor prices and mission offers. Consider using a fast scout ship for initial exploration, then sending in larger ships for detailed scanning.
