This is upcoming content of the [[Beyond]] Chapter Four update.
Using the above tools will allow you to find everything in the system without having to fly towards it. If you find something worth investigating, whether that’s an Earth-like world or a mineral rich planetary ring, you can fly towards it and use the Detailed Surface Scanner to map the planet (or ring) and get a satisfying '100% completion' for mapping the body, as well as a bonus credit reward.
* Commanders '''can fire probes that detonate in a low orbit around the stellar body.'''
* The gravity and mass of a body affects the trajectory of the probe, and the on-screen information will adapt to help you aim your shots.
* After receiving community feedback, these probes are unlimited and do not require synthesis to restock them.
* These probes send out a wave that maps part of the surface.
* If you fire a probe in to a ring around a planet it will highlight areas of a greater chance of containing a mining motherlode. We will be covering that in a future livestream.
* To map an entire body, you will need to fire several probes at different locations on the body.
* A horizon point indicator will help you know if you’re going to hit the front or back of the body, with a button that lets you toggle your view and see if you’ve hit the desired location.
* Another indicator will also note if you are hitting a ring or miss the body entirely.
* An efficiency bonus will be rewarded if you manage to map the body in a certain number of probes or less; that number appears clearly on-screen.
* Once 90% of the body is mapped, it is considered complete.
* If you are the first person to map a planet and sell the data, you will get a first-mapped bonus.
* If you have mapped planet on which you’re able to land that contains points of interest such as Thargoid Imprints or Guardian Ruins, Settlements, or Wrecked Ships, they will appear as targetable markers. These markers are permanent and will remain on the planet for you, even if you leave the system and return.
