    The title says it all. I think this would be good because it would add an element of gameplay of delegating exploration tasks out to fleets, thus making them a more integral part of gameplay. A player could still pilot a ship to reveal sectors faster.

    As always, constructive thoughts are welcome here. :)

    As long as they have sensors, I'm down with this. Although I feel like there is opportunity for communications and stealth play here.

    I was under the impression this was already possible, though had not yet tried it. As such, it should be made possible!

    Most definitely should be in the game. Would allow for exploration of many systems and perhaps even some exploration companies selling said data ^^.

    Criss's response was about sharing map data, not using AI fleets to lift fog of war. I tested using fleets to reveal systems and it did not work. I don't make suggestion threads without first testing to see if it's already implemented in game.
