I notice when setting scout to autoexplore that I get several exploring the same area unless I go and redirect them. I am not sure how the algorithm choose which sector to explore next but I have a couple of suggestions concerning it.
1) Check if the sector already has a vessel exploring it or a if a vessel set to explore is on it way to that sector. If it does then choose another sector.
2) Choose the closest sector that currently doesn't have a vessel assigned to it. Don't just move in straight line from one edge of the map to the far edge.
Even with these issues I find the autoexplore very useful. I just have to keep checking to ensure that the scout don't bunch up
