SPOILSERS!!
Background
The Outlands are a vast stretch of space in a distant galaxy on the fringes of Allegiance space. Packed with hidden, powerful alien tech, new resources, and intel that will help defend Gemini Station from the growing Allegiance threat, Outlands space is a dangerous, ever-changing environment. But powerful mods and valuable resources are can be discovered and claimed by only the most dedicated and skilled pilots.
Overview
The Outlands are filled with hundreds of Allegiance Nodes––or Space Points, if you're Suros––connected by hundreds of subspace lanes. These connected lanes can only be discovered if the Node has been activated your ship will be able to perform a scan of the area from the Galactic Map view.
Scan Mechanics
Every node has a discovery difficulty rating, typically between 5-100. When you perform a scan, a D20 + installed Sensor Scan Result mods roll occurs. If the results of that roll beat the connected, but undiscovered node's difficulty rating, an alert will appear under the scan progress bar. When the page is reloaded, the node and subsequent space lane will appear as a location you can travel to.
Sensor Range in the Outlands
The sensor range mechanic that is in place for the Jupiter, Eris, Mercury, and Venus space lanes is not active for Outlands subspace lanes. It probably has something to do with the wibbly wobbly timey wimey...subspace lane stuff.
