Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
I think it could be really useful if you could do it while still in hyperspace near a star. It would reveal all the planet types, which would be useful to decide through which jumpoint to enter the system. Thats often critical information for missions and bounty hunting, when all you have a location hint is the planet type.
