Campaign Ship Building Question

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've played a regular..'game'....loved it, so now I'm just starting the campaign.
First mission......
I notice I don't have a 'flag ship' to "Survey" the anomilies.....so do I have to build one?...Or is one just going to show up?
And if I do have to build one....what is the quickest 'research' way?
I mean....what items do I have to research to get 'survey' capabilities on a ship?

Plez somebody, save me some time with the 'hit and miss' factor here.....

You don't get free survey ship.

And it's good to build one because of many of anomalies around (enemy doesn't have either), so get the tech "Sensors" early and design your own to get all those +2500bc (I didn't found any better, free ships from anomalies doesn't probably exist in campaign). "Sensors" is all you need to have Survey module (research path).
Of course if you want predefined "Survey ship" you need more techs, but own designs are always better I think any hull and engines would work.

Tks Sevan.....

I played the campaign mission.....yes, building a ship and adding a sensor will do the trick.
But.....
Really no need to, in this mission....just go kill the bad guys is good enough....a few small ships with armor and a laser, does the trick. No need to develop the anomilies.....
