Are there any way to make every system always visible for me?

Welcome to the forums Tekeli. [:)]

There's no way to disable fog of war I'm afraid. The only (long and laborious) way to make every system visible is to use the editor and place a station in every system, but that will also mess up your economy early game.

Thank you for your reply Igard.[:)]

Maybe I have to place a explorer in every system? Can I make my explorer absolutely invisible or invincible?

With a Long Range Scanner array you pretty much just need 1 per sector. You still need a fair number to see everything on a 15x15 map. Add one to every Explorer you want to stake out an area of operation.

I tried to put a monitoring station with long range scanner in each sector with game editor.
And it worked, except that I have to pay about 300 maintenance for 200 probes.
