Discovery Scanner

2017-06-16T23:12:47Z

90.254.27.195: Added Bingui-Tall Installation as location where you can purchase intermediate and advanced discovery scanners.

The '''Discovery Scanner''' is a unit that fits inside of an 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 1,000 LS range and costs 505,000 CR
* Advanced Discovery Scanner - Has a system-wide range and costs 1,545,000 CR
All 3 levels of Discovery Scanners are Class 1 units that can be equipped to any size of internal compartment.

== Usage ==
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).'''

{{Quote|Saud Kruger builds some of the finest luxury vessels traveling the space lanes. Their Dolphin class passenger vessel is able to transport a small number of people in extreme comfort.}}
The '''Dolphin''' is the latest addition to [[Saud Kruger]]'s line of luxury passenger ships. It’s a small vessel with a very low starter price aimed at commanders wishing to embark upon a role of a tourist pilot. As with the rest of the passenger liners, the Dolphin can fit all the necessary passenger suites ensuring maximum comfort for all on board.

With a very decent jump-range and a sleek design, the Dolphin will surely find its place among the ever-growing space tourism.

Note; a problem that you may come across when flying this ship is the lack of internal space for [[Passenger Cabin|Passenger Cabins]] when outfitted with a [[Fuel Scoop]] and a [[Shield Generator]].

This ship was released in update 2.3 "The Commanders". Requires the Horizons expansion<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=ee59a3bb5e Newsletter #10]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmpRiR1u6t4 YouTube: On the Horizon - 2.3 The Commanders Beta Livestream Part 1]</ref>
