Move to survey?

Should this maybe moved to survey? I find it strange to read as it's about something exclusively used in surveys. — xZise [talk] 05:43, 27 February 2015 (CST)

1/ The survey is one of the 10 (and most probably, the number will increase) sequence of the contract, this greater amount of info brake "balance" among the sequences.
2/ It is now used in case of the surveys, but the area of employment may increase - new types of targets (like runaways) and new type of employing contracts are probable.
3/ This system may progresses to a more complicated one needing even more place... NWM (talk) 10:22, 27 February 2015 (CST)
If you use #, you automatically create a numbered list (see Template talk:Stats Table Cargo).
I also don't agree with having the orbit markers here. There are similarities but this article is mostly about just the markers where you've fly to, do a certain thing and then got it. The orbit marker instead show you what orbit a craft need to be in. But that craft doesn't need to fly to any of that markers (it only suffices that the orbit is along them) and you don't have to do something based on that markers. They are similar like having different color for different contract and being a part of the contract. But they behave differently. If you want to have both you probably need to rewrite the article quite a bit as the previous one was very concentrated about the survey markers. — xZise [talk] 04:24, 2 March 2015 (CST)
Those are "orbital" navigation marks - and are mainly same. The only difference they cannot be selected (and not appear on navball) because there is no reasonable method to use this way. Ok, they determines an orbit and not a fixed location. But in space we can specify just an orbit as a location. If you want to determinate a "location" of a given celestial, you will list ist orbital properties, don't you?NWM (talk) 17:01, 2 March 2015 (CST)
