Agreed.
It is sadly, but you right.

I think it is must by different pattern for each system.
Maybe not easy.
Anyway, many times ago when I played original FL, I used Z-patterns for explore system to find something unusual.
I say again. It is very bad looking situations - when space pilot, survived so many battles, need to explore system, using for navigation only trivial "compass" - direction of ship pictogramm on 2D map
into 3D system....
It is simply outstanding... IMHO ...
I think there is possible to create a search-patrol routes for each system where it need for mission. As maximum - several patterns for each system and random choice at player's arrival.

PS. Please excuse my bad English ...

With all my respect... it seems strange to have a goal to explore whole system without possibility to set patrol waypoints.
I think there must be at least pre-setted scan-patrol route for searach-explore missions.
I think this is possible without access to source code.

IMHO main BUG in this missions - player can not set up own waypoints.
There NOT EASY explore system without any points only by direction of ship picture on map.
In normal situation - player set some waypoints for broad scan patrol.
But here player can not set own waypoints.
