I would like to suggest that the Starlab does not pause its survey. Ones its deployed and surveying the data, it should continue to do so, until the research is done in the surveyed region.
It hinders the pace a bit, especially on planets like Duna where the Biomes changes every few seconds.
Maybe i do something wrong, or this is a Bug, but if not, it would be nice to keep the games pace.
A alternative would be, that the Starlab automates this procedure, stopping the survey when the region changes, and automatically starts surveying again.
I would like to hear some opinions, suggestions or maybe even help, because there is a chance that i do something wrong.
