Yep. Don't make the mistake of thinking that because that planet on your initial setup LOOKS empty... or your explorers will get their heads handed to them at least part of the time.
I highly recommend using the Planetary Probes the first turn or two - they are cheap (30 RUs each) and expendable anyway. This way you can find out where the nasty aliens are without scratching the new paint job.
You DO want to have some exploring fleets, but remember to set your fleet's aggression level as low as it will go. Also pick a fleet maneuver.
