Zones

With the exception of Landing and MIA, these are the zones that make up a planet as they appear in the scans. Landing is always the first "zone" you go through on every expedition. The others are selected at random from the pool of yet unexplored zones.


 * Every zone has 4 possible outcomes, though some are just different messages with the same result.
 * An expedition will visit up to 9 zones after the landing (3 in a patrol craft), until all zones have been explored or the mission is aborted.
 * Every in the team lets you explore one additional zone.
 * Losing a team member will add an unexplored MIA zone to the pool when it happens.
 * The 'wandering' event will cause a zone to remain unexplored and show up again, possibly in the same expedition.
 * When exploring zones with skills or equipment that increase yield, the numbers will already show this.
 * The skill does not lower the chance of bad events from occurring, instead it only will cancel the effects of a bad event when triggered (much like how the  cancels events for its respective zones).
