Thanks so much! I'm having a blast checking the post every day for new replies, it feels like we are figuring it all out together \o/ I'm going to modify my credit request to be "Swiftsong FC and the Lodestone forum community."

I hadn't totally ruled out in my mind the "flyover" theory, that the path from one sector to another that would get you near the sector is what would unlock it. We had reports that it wasn't necessary for some sectors, that even 1-stop trips to some sectors would do the trick. It might be that surveillance extends your "sight radius", and sometimes it isn't necessary to take a specific path because imply visiting that sector falls within the radius. As a theory it isn't a good one because its so hard to test. Even if it unlocks on a "flyover" trip, we can't be sure if it was that or some RNG. And it fails occam's razor pretty bad XD
