72.38.111.210: Max debt increased

{{UpdateMe}}

If you are unlucky enough to die, be killed, hunted down like the dog you are, or just slammed into a space station by a useless docking computer, then you will be given an opportunity to rebuy your ship by paying an 'insurance' cost relative to the ships purchase cost. The following table shows the ''approximate'' purchase and insurance cost for ships and equipment.
Also note that the insurance is 5% of the cost of the ship, and all other items.

Upon the destruction of your ship an insurance screen will be displayed showing how much it costs to either repurchase your (now destroyed) ship's loadout or to choose a free sidewinder (loaned to you from the [[Pilots Federation]]). If you do not have enough credits to repurchase your old loadout you will be given an opportunity to take out [[loan]]s up to a maximum of 600,000 credits (this maximum includes unpaid loans the player might have). If for some reason the player cannot repurchase their old loadout even with loans then they will be forced to choose the sidewinder - thus losing their old ship and its loadout.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Sidewinders are the starter ship so they are free unless you're purchasing a new one or paying insurance for an old loadout.

[1] Beta backers receive an additional 25% discount on the insurance cost of their ships, which includes the hull and its modules.

[2] Alpha backers receive an additional 50% discount on the insurance cost of their ships, which includes the hull and its modules.

Discovery Scanner

2015-02-13T19:31:10Z

72.38.188.26: /* Outfitters */

The Discovery Scanner is a unit that fits inside of a internal compartment and allows you to scan for unknown astronomical objects within a certain radius of your ship.

All vessels come with a basic discovery scanner fitted as standard however there are 3 levels of Discovery Scanners:
* Basic Discovery Scanner - Has a 500 LS range and costs 1,000 CR
* Intermediate Discovery Scanner - Has a 1000 LS range and costs ~500,000 CR
* Advanced Discovery Scanner - Has a system-wide range and costs ~1,500,000 CR
== Usage[[Category:Equipment]] ==
The Discovery Scanner needs to be assigned to a fire group and can be triggered in both super cruise and normal space. The assigned control to trigger the scanner must be held down in order to charge the unit. It will tell you when the scan is complete. In addition, if you pass extremely close to an astronomical body it will automatically discover the object.

As the basic/intermediate scanners have a limited range you will not necessarily find all the astronomical bodies by triggering it just once. (The advanced scanner will discover everything). You may need to scout the system to discover additional astronomical bodies. This can be achieved by traveling very fast (over 30c is best) and looking for moving objects from your side/top windows on the static backdrop. When you see moving objects, head towards them until you get them within the maximum range of your scanner and trigger it to discover them.

Once you discover the objects they will initially appear in your Navigation panel as "UNEXPLORED" (discovered but not scanned) and you will need to get close enough for your ship to automatically scan them to get further information. The distance you need to get to the object in order for the automatic scan to begin depends on its size. Stars may be automatically scanned from over 1,000 LS away but small moons may require you to be within 10 LS or even closer. Once you are close enough and have the "UNEXPLORED" object selected you will see it begin scanning and the name will eventually change from "UNEXPLORED" to a more appropriate name based upon its position in the system. You will also see further information on the body in the system map.

Although not necessary, it is beneficial to also have the [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] to maximise your profits as this gains additional information such as the atmosphere type and composition of the astronomical body. '''(You need both, not one or the other).'''
