When the captain visits an alien world, they can review the world by scanning it from Orbit. Scanning the planet reveals all the collectable resources and objects of interest, gives a break-down of the planet data and displays any threats. The Captain can review the information and deice whether or not to send down crew to explore the surface to acquire resources, artifacts and make contact with inhabitants.

			=== '''Planet Entry''' ===
			Each planet has a specific landing zone designated for safe entry into the planet. The player controls the Lander during its descent from orbit to make sure it lands within the landing zone, the severity of the planetary determines how much Lander sway the player has to counteract. If successfully landed on the landing zone, no crew are lost and the player can begin exploring the planet. If the Lander impacts the ground away from the landing zone, it will take crew damage depending on the distance. if far enough away from the landing zone, the entire crew will be lost and another Lander will have to be launched.

			=== Lander Mechanics ===
			The Lander is able to rapidly traverse around a planet, but the player will have to often jump to navigate terrain such as ravines and mountains, while the booster can be used to improve movement speed. Some planets will host critters, natural or otherwise, that can destroy the player's lander. To combat critters, the Landers are equipped with a laser weapon that can engage and destroy threats. Planetary hazards such as Volcanoes and Fireballs can also be lethal to the lander, so the player will have to avoid dangerous areas of the planet or have precise timing to traverse them.

			=== Lander Management ===
			There are four factors to manage on the lander:
			* Crew
			Crew functions as the health of the Lander, if all crew are lost the Lander is destroyed and another needs to be launcher. Crew can take damage from botched landings, encounters with hostile critters and planetary hazards
			* Energy
			Energy is depleted from jumping and and boosting the Lander but regenerates over time. Efficient management of Energy is an important skill in rapidly exploring planets
			* Storage
			Storage determines how much resources you can collect in a single haul. If a Lander reaches maximum storage, additional Landers will need to be launched to collect the remaining resources on a planet.
			* Weapons Energy
			Firing the Lander's laser weapon drains Weapons Energy but regenerates over time.
