extends BasicGameInfo

Discovery Quest is a game of exploration.

Ships must 'Scan' (see ScanCommand) various objects in order to accumulate points. Every type of object in the game is worth a different number of points.

Scanning is different from Radar, and requires a precise ID and takes more time and energy to perform. It also has a limited range which you must stay within for the whole duration of the scan.

You CANNOT scan the same object more than once for points.

Ships must establish an 'Outpost' by scanning it. Once they have done so, they will start to receive 'Missions'. They initially won't score points for scanned objects until an Outpost is established.

All points for things scanned before making an Outpost will be awarded when an Outpost is established.

A Mission dictates which objects a ship should go scan. If a ship goes and scans ONLY those things, bonus points will be awarded when they return to their outpost and Scan it again.

Scanning their outpost will always give them a new mission.

Your Ship being destroyed clears/fails your mission, so you must return to your established outpost if you want a new one.

The Discovery Quest Game prevents a player from warping out of a nebula.
