==Gravitational Survey==
Before you can explore new [[system]]s, or find new routes between existing ones, you first need to find the [[jump point|Jump Points]] connecting them. Surveying a system requires a vessels equipped with [[Gravitational Survey Sensors]]. You can see the surveyed and unsurveyed Survey Locations in a system by selecting "Show JP Survey Locations" from the Display tab in the [[System Map]] window. You will be notified when a system has been completely surveyed. Each system contains 30 points which can be scanned for potential jump points. These survey points are arranged in three rings around the system primary, with 6 points in the inner ring and 12 points each in the middle and outer rings. 

The distance from the primary [[star]] and the survey time will vary based on the mass of the primary star. The benchmark for this is Sol, where the outermost ring is 40 AU (~6b km) from the Sun, and each location takes 400 survey points to survey. 
* For systems with primaries smaller than Sol, these numbers vary based on the square root of the star's mass, so a star that weighs 0.25 solar masses will have a multiplier of 0.25^(1/2) = 0.5. This means that the outermost ring will be half as far away (20 AU, not 40 AU), and each location will take half as many survey points (200, not 400). 
* For systems with primary stars heavier than Sol, it will vary by the cube root instead, so a star that weighs 8 solar masses will have a multiplier of 8^(1/3) = 2. This means that the outermost ring will be twice as far away (80 AU, not 40 AU), and each location will take twice as many survey points (800, not 400).
