I'm actually not really even taking about auto-explore (even though that is the thread title). I was just saying, say if I FRD'd a group of scouts four systems out, if it automatically dropped one cloaked scout (of the lowest mark) at each un-picketed system the group travelled to, that would be nice. This would hold the group together as much as possible for depth, but still get pickets in place. If I don't get the depth I want, I can do it again and since some pickets will already be in place nothing will peel off in those systems. Just a dream really.
