Working off ot the ide by MrNature72 on his post - http://star-made.org/content/great-idea-library I felt the idea of warp modules or wormholes would be a bit risky. Also the fact that you can warp over large distances and instantly appear would be a bit hazardous if you dont know where you were going or never been there before.
So I thought of 2 additions to his idea.
1. Create a Sattelite module which you would launch depending on the type and size and you can launch this unmanned and automatic device out to coordinates you desire, if there is an object at those coords then it would go within a distance of said coordinates and create a beacon if it is safe. If it isn't it would return to you with data, if noone tried or did destroy it, letting you know information about that area within a certain range - again depending on the type of satellite. This is based on long distances and can take some time.
2. Another option would be to create short range exploration module using droid and you would have to launch atleast 3, this would be quite pricey. This would allow you to triangulate areas you wish to go to for safety concerns to areas you dont know but is rather close by. This could also work in conjuction with other modules like mining and security. Can't think of more uses but I'm sure there could be a potential for many uses.
