Constellation Survey Corps
Your Starfield photos can chart the Settled Systems
You already take photos in-game. Bring them here. Tag each one to the planet, moon, or gas giant where you stood, log a survey, and show other captains why that view is worth the grav jump.
1. Pin a photo
Tag the world
Upload from the star map or your photo library. Tag at least one of your photos to that planet or moon. That is your proof you were there.
2. Log a survey
Leave a field note
Open Surveyor mode, pick the body, then Add Survey. One tagged photo completes it. Extra photos help you climb faster and fill the gallery.
3. Shape the gallery
Vote and rank
Open Surveyor mode, then select a system or body that already has community photos. Voting lives on the photo strip at the bottom of the map: each shot has ▲, Rank, and ▼. You cannot up-vote your own photos. Try Nemeria IV-a - it already has photos to score.

Highest-voted surveys
Captains are already logging views. Score them in Surveyor mode - or bring your own shot of the same world.
- The map remembers the worlds you have charted. Fog lifts as you visit and survey.
- Someone else's photo is a preview. It does not complete your survey. You still bring your own.
- Finish every planet, moon, and gas giant in a system and that system is charted.
- Weekly jump contracts and your progress live in your journal.
- See who is filling the galaxy on the Top Surveyors board.
Survey points power Top Surveyors. Forum and site activity stay on Top Explorers. Extra photos are the fastest way for prolific photographers to climb.
- Visit
- 1 point the first time you select a body in Surveyor mode.
- Complete a survey
- 8 points, plus 5 if it is your first completed survey of the day.
- Extra photos
- 4 points each, up to two extra counting photos per location.
- Votes and favorites
- Voters earn 2 points for scoring a photo. Photo owners earn 1 from a plain up-vote, or 4 / 3 / 2 when ranked #1 / #2 / #3 (ranks replace the plain up-vote, they do not stack). Ranking also marks an up-vote so a favorite cannot sit at -1.
One survey will not skip you up the board. Extra photos, charted systems, and daily surveys are how power users reach the top.
