Once the 90% mapping threshold has been met, the DSS will automatically fill in the remaining gaps on the object and award 100% completion. If the number of impacted probes is equal to or less than the listed "Efficiency Target", which can range from 2-22 probes depending on the object's mass, a credit bonus will also be awarded. The most valuable types of objects to map are High Metal Content Worlds, Water Worlds, Ammonia Worlds, and Earth-like Worlds, each of which typically require 6 | Once the 90% mapping threshold has been met, the DSS will automatically fill in the remaining gaps on the object and award 100% completion.

Mapping a planet with the DSS will permanently reveal any significant points of interest on its surface, including any [[Settlement]]s, [[Shipwreck]]s, [[Guardian]] sites, and [[Thargoid]] sites. These locations will be highlighted with markers that can be selected for planetary landings. Probes can also be fired at planetary ring systems orbiting an object to highlight any resource-rich areas. No matter the size of the rings, mapping them only requires a single probe. | Mapping a planet with the DSS will permanently reveal any significant points of interest on its surface, including any [[Settlement]]s, [[Shipwreck]]s, [[Guardian]] sites, and [[Thargoid]] sites.
