{{quote|Advanced stellar body scanner used during exploration.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Detailed Surface Scanner''' will give a pilot info on the composition of a moon, planet, star, or other stellar body and also data such as orbital distance and orbit time.

A [[Discovery Scanner]] is ''required'' for this module to be useful; both modules must be present on the ship for this one to provide information. Use of this module increases the amount of credits that can be earned in stellar cartography by about 30%,{{Cite}} and is considered essential for any pilot wanting to use exploration as their primary source of income.

In order to use this module a pilot must select the unexplored entity from their navigation panel then fly to within range (varies due to entity diameter) just as with scanning with the discovery scanner and as such does not need to be bound to a firing group.

The scan will take from 35 seconds down to 15 seconds depending upon the range at which the entity is scanned, 35 seconds for maximum range down to a minimum of 15 for close range. This difference in scan times may make it worthwhile to get closer to an entity being scanned to save a few seconds but risks the pilot being caught in the entity's gravity well.

Upon completion of the scan the pilot will receive a message confirming the detailed scan.

Standard Docking Computer

[[File:StandardDockingComputer_Ingame.png|300px|thumb]]
A '''standard docking computer''' is a ship module that automates docking with a space station or surface station (in ED Horizons). The process can be slow so it is not recommended for pilots who need to dock quickly.

<p style="color: red; text-align: center;">'''-Warning- '''Docking Computers are not perfect and may not work correctly at times, which can result in the destruction of player ships. Although improper functioning has become very rare since v1.4, it does occur so remember that you can override the auto-dock sequence with throttle input or by turning off power to the standard docking computer in the modules tab.</p>

==Uses==

</gallery>

A docking computer can be used with any ship and might be especially handy for players who find the docking process to be hard or don't want to keep doing it every time they dock. It is very useful to dock larger ships too, as those require more precise maneuvering.

The docking computer is automatically activated when docking permission is granted. If the ship is moving a message will appear to slow down before the docking computer will take control of the ship. With the [[Flight_Assist|flight assist on]], when the throttle is set to zero or if the ship was initially stopped, the docking computer will begin maneuvering the ship. To cancel the auto-docking computer sequence and hand control back to the pilot, disable the docking computer module, or put power to forward/backward thrusters, or turn off the flight assist.

'''Note:''' Docking computers tend to have trouble if anything bumps you, especially as you pass through the docking port. Generally they are reliable, but will sometimes cut out once inside the station leaving you to manually traverse to your pad.

'''Note:''' Docking computers will self deploy landing gear if the landing gear are not deployed before auto-dock is initiated. Docking Computers will dock you faster if you let them self deploy landing gear compared to pre-deploying the landing gear before auto-dock.

'''Note:''' Docking Computers may help prevent getting reckless flying fines from collisions as even when traveling above 100 m/s the speeding warning indicator does not appear while auto-docking.

'''Note:''' One can manually fly into the station or to the landing pad and then let the docking computer engage by pressing the 'X' key (zero throttle keybind), which sets all throttle to zero and thus results in almost instant transfer of control to the docking computer.

==History==
Docking Computers first appeared in the original [[Elite]] game. They were costly, but worth the investment as docking was - for the time - a complex process, during which even experienced players occasionally crashed their ship. Automated docking also was faster.

During automated docking, the computer would play "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II, a homage to the (very slow) docking scene in the 1968 epic science fiction movie ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' by Stanley Kubrick which was set to the same piece.

</gallery>

==Trivia==
* First appeared in Standard Beta 1
* If you disable your thrusters while the docking computer tries to boost it will spam your info screen with the the "BOOST FAILED: ENGINES DISABLED" message for a very long time. The only way to get rid of it is to log out or wait until each message goes away.
