Editing C-Survey (section)

==Default Survey Orders==
In the Naval Organization window, once you've selected a fleet, you can choose the "Standing Orders" tab (third from the left). This contains a wide range of standing orders you can use to automate surveying. Select "Survey Nearest System Location" for grav survey, "Survey Nearest Body" for geo survey, or "Survey Next Three System Bodies or Locations" if you want a ship to survey both types of location. Geo survey can also be done with the "Survey Nearest [Asteroid/Moon/Planet/Planet or Moon]" standing orders, if you prefer to only survey certain types of body. These orders will be carried out whenever there's nothing else in the orders list. You will be notified when the ships have surveyed all locations which fit their orders.

You can also use bulk standing orders, such as "Survey Next 5 Bodies" or "Survey Next 3 Locations" to have the ships select multiple survey locations at once. This can sometimes spread your ships out more efficiently, and allow geo-survey ships to do more in a single time increment if multiple small bodies are nearby, but the differences are usually minor. 

Finally, there are orders that allow survey ships to automatically move between systems, once their current system has been surveyed in full. These are the "Move to System Requiring Geosurvey" and "Move to System Requiring Gravsurvey" orders. Generally, you will want these as secondary standing orders. Here is an example of how standing orders might be set up for a geosurvey fleet in practice:
