= Excursions =
An excursion sends a fleet to explore empty space, the void or an unclaimed planet. If the trip succeeds, the fleet comes home with [[Void Experience]] and, sometimes, [[Xenogen]], [[Artifacts]], resources and even a [[Relics|relic]]. Excursions need no target colony and no battle, so they are a way to earn the currencies behind [[Biolab]] research and relic creation without attacking anyone.

== Send an excursion ==
# Open [[Galaxy]] and pick a target that nobody owns: empty space, a void location or an unclaimed planet. Enter the coordinate in [[Fleet]] if you prefer.
# Select the ships to send. Any fleet can go; stronger fleets succeed more often and bring back more. Leave cargo room if you want to carry resources, Xenogen or Artifacts home.
# Choose the '''Excursion''' mission, check the SEM fuel cost and travel time, and launch. Excursion is a separate mission from '''Extract''', which recovers visible [[Debris Fields|debris]].
# The fleet explores on arrival and then flies home on its own. Carried rewards become available when it returns. See [[Fleet Operations]] for recall and return rules.

== Success ==
Not every excursion succeeds. The base success chance is 15%, and three things can raise it:
* '''Fleet strength:''' a stronger fleet improves the chance, up to double.
* '''Travel time:''' a longer trip improves the chance, up to 1.5 times.
* '''Time since the last excursion to the same location:''' the longer a location has rested, the better, up to double. A failed trip only partly resets that rest time.

A failed excursion pays nothing, and its report says the fleet found nothing useful. Try a longer trip, a stronger fleet or a different location.

== Rewards ==
A successful excursion always pays at least 1 [[Void Experience|VXP]]. It then rolls separately for each extra reward:
<div class="vv-stack-table" tabindex="0" role="region" aria-label="Excursion rewards">
{| class="wikitable"
! Reward !! Chance on success
|-
| Void Experience || Always
|-
| Xenogen || 40%
|-
| Artifacts || 40%
|-
| Resources (Aslit, Crlit, Iopla, SEM; one to four kinds) || 30%
|-
| Relic || 10% of full excursions, see below
|}
</div>
Amounts grow with the strength of your fleet and with flight time. Fleet strength counts up to a ceiling that depends on the world's strongest active players, so a fleet far above that ceiling gains nothing extra. Xenogen, Artifacts and resources must fit in the fleet's cargo, and they are filled in that order: Xenogen, then Artifacts, then resources. Anything that does not fit is lost. VXP and relics need no cargo space.

== Full excursions and the daily quota ==
Only your first '''3 successful excursions within any 24 hours''' pay in full. These are called '''full excursions'''. Later successes in the same window still succeed but pay only 2–6% of the normal amounts, and they '''cannot find relics'''.
* [[Galaxy]] shows a '''Full excursions''' tile with your used slots, for example 1/3. Fleet shows how many full excursions you have left, and when the next slot frees up.
* The window is rolling: a used slot returns 24 hours after the excursion that used it arrived.
* Only successful trips use a slot. A failed trip does not.

Plan around this by saving strong fleets for your full slots rather than sending many small ones.

== Finding relics ==
On a full excursion that succeeds, there is a 10% chance to find a relic. Of those finds, 99% are Common and 1% are Uncommon. The relic goes straight into your collection at no cost. You find nothing if [[Relics|Archeotech]] is not yet researched or your collection has no free slot, so unlock Archeotech first and delete relics you no longer need. Other relic sources are the Ancient dig site in [[Planet Events]] and creating them yourself in Archeotech.

== Reports ==
Each arrival creates an excursion report in [[Reports]], and an arrival message in [[Inbox]] tells you the fleet has completed its excursion and is returning. The report says whether the trip succeeded and lists what was found.

== Tips ==
* Check the quota tile before launching, and send your strongest fleet on a full slot.
* A longer flight helps both success chance and reward size.
* Bring cargo capacity if you want the Xenogen, Artifacts and resources, not just VXP.
* Spread trips across different locations to avoid short rest times.
