![]() ![]() Depending on the results of the scan-cloak function, the identified planet may or may not have enough cloak to remain hidden from the scan after the identification. Since the 2nd scan function depends on the specific identified planet, your ship computer is unable to report the overall scanning probability prior to the scan. The actual probability of the overall scan is the stated scanning probability multiplied by the results of the scan-cloak function therefore, the stated scanning probability is an upper-bound on the actual probability. The exact nature of this function is not known, but it has been proposed by high-rank scientists, and confirmed by empirical observations, that this scan-cloak function is indeed probabilistic and of the form: A - B*(cloak/scan) as opposed to a simple add-subtract of scan versus cloak abilities. Whether this 2nd scan is successful is a function of your scanning power and the identified planet's cloak. Once a planet is identified, the ship's scanners attempt to isolate and analyze the planet. The nature of the flux and related scanning technology allow for a sufficiently accurate calculation of this probability. The probability stated on the console represents the ship's computer's calculated odds that a planet will be identified by the scan. The scanning processes consumes Energy and is probabilistic in nature. To scan for new planets, click the "Scan for New Planets" button on the "PLANETS" tab of your main console. The other canonical case of this is the special planet "Exotica" as a reward for completion of the mission Ruler of Exotica.įor those wishing to do a mass scan session or a scan fest, read the Scan Blitz for more detailed information on how it can be done properly. High rank missions even unlock the discovery of new TYPES of planets ( Aphotic and Ecumenopolis, etc). Special mission may return planet information. However, after 5 years of play, you can unlock a Prismatic planet for yourself. The probability of this event is considered to be virtually zero for all intents and purposes. It is rumored (and possibly a myth) that planet information is returned on extremely rare occasions as a Daily Reward. The result is that both ships will now have the same planet scanned. It is rare, but the results of a successful hack may coincide with synchronization which will allow planet data to be hacked. The planet database is typically maintained in an isolated enclave of the ship's computer with periodic synchronization. (Only available from artifact point shipments before 21nov2010). This artifact added a random planet to your planet database, and is assumed to be equivalent to a single successful scan. If the planet is colonized (or invaded then colonized) by a particular recipient during this window, then its location will remain in the colonizing user's planet database. This functionality is based on heavily regulated and leased scan-link channels planets added under this method are only temporarily available to all legion members, and will be removed after a specific amount of time. Legion members may " alert" a planet location to other members of the same legion. This is a stochastic process described in the following section. There are 6 known methods to add a planet to the database: The order of different words in the filter does not matter, and the strings are not case-sensitive, so the following filters are all functionally equivalent: "icy large", "LARGE ICY", and "lArGe ICy". For example, entering "you volc very" as the filter will cause only volcanic planets controlled by you which have a very something best resource or a very something size (it's also possible that a planet has the string "volc" or "you" as a substring somewhere in the planet name). The filter is applied real-time and filters simultaneously by planet name, size, type, best resource, and control. Sort the list of planets by ascending or descending order by clicking on the column headers. From the PLANETS tab, you can scan for new planets, click on an individual planet for details/options, and sort or filter the list of planets. Currently scanned planets are listed on the "PLANETS" tab of your main console. ![]() The planet database stores the location and meta-data for planets that you currently have scanned. Your ship's computer is equipped with an initially empty planet database. There are over 8 million planets to be discovered in Galaxy Legion, and what makes each one different is its Planet Type, Planet Size, the resources that it produces, and its name, of course. 1.1 Sorting and Filtering List of Planets.
