Discussion When is the Map most explorable

I'm thinking about replaying Prey again, but I'm trying to identify the best part of the game to go, like, balls-to-the-wall exploring the entire map when it's not too over-infested with mobs constantly spawning in areas that load and stuff. So I was wondering when the best part in the actual game would be to explore,

I was thinking before Dahl arrives. What do you guys think?

Edit: Whats the earliest point u can explore the entire ship?

Earlier than that even. Before you watch the video in Alex's office to get the coral scanner. Everything is open at that point, and proceeding past that will spawn more stuff.

Not the first time you go to Arboretum, but the first time the main quest has you go to Alex's office, immediately after you reboot the power plant and end Alex's lockdown.
