Scanner

From PlanetsWiki

[edit] Overview

Without specialized buildings bases are only able to see their direct neighbourhood (2 LY). The Scanner buildings provide a way to extend that sensor range:

• Can scan for objects in space at a distance of about 100 LY (range can be changed via HConfig).
• Can easily detect large fast moving ships, has a harder time detecting and identifying very small and very slow objects.
• Building more than 1 Scanner per base will increase the chance to scan objects within the standard scan range.

[edit] Notes

• The scan range of the scanner building cannot be increased by exotic tech.
• Scanners in bases on Asteroid Fields will not increase the scan range.
