Explore

An explore mission is used to explore space to find new planets. It can be started from the fleet as well as the galaxy menu. To explore one coordinate point it requires one explorer ship and the amount of uranium necessary to fly to the target and return. The mission is split into two parts - after the first half of the mission the ship reaches the destination and explores it. The chance to find a planet is 1%. If a planet is found, the ship will not return but land on the planet and take possession of it. If no planet is found the ship will return to its starting planet - unless it gets lost. The chance to lose the ship is 5%.
