AMI Survey Controller

Survey controllers automate the process of scanning multiple locations for you. Hand a fleet of survey drones to one and it can carry out a full system scan.

What it does

Configure ahead of time to visit all planets and moons. When you land in a new system, launch the controller and it dispatches every assigned drone in parallel. When the directive completes, the controller brings the fleet home.

It's very satisfying to launch a large fleet of survey drones into a system and to sit back and watch all the scan results coming in.
