Efficient wormhole scanning
Not finished, still a bunch of things I need to explore/test.
The key points are:
-4 probes in a coplanar cross shape to minimize time spent moving them
-"not 5AU from celestials" heuristic for finding holes in sig-filled systems
Check out the target strength calc for a good idea of the game mechanics.
THEОRIES:
-wormholеs are either 5 or 10 sig size (has anyone seen different ones??) meaning you can narrow down results without scanning!
-deep space probes are more effective than core probes for wormhole scanning (??? numbers say yes testing says no)
