Or, put a different way, one explorer is the same as 10,000 explorers while using certain forms of automation.

I built eight explorer and told them to explore the sector. Then, I set the game to 4x speed and watched to see what they would do:

1. All 8 went to the same system and explored it, then
2. All 8 went to a different system (all 8 to the same system) and explorer it.
etc, etc

Has anyone else observed this rather odd (and rather useless) behavior?

This was an old problem with the AI that was improved with the Shadows Expansion. Because I don't automate my explorers, I sometimes assign them different sectors, I have not observed this behavior.
