Line 17:
Mapping a planet with the DSS will permanently reveal any significant points of interest on its surface, including any [[Settlement]]s, [[Shipwreck]]s, [[Guardian]] sites, and [[Thargoid]] sites. These locations will be highlighted with markers that can be selected for planetary landings. Probes can also be fired at planetary ring systems orbiting an object to highlight any resource-rich areas. No matter the size of the rings, mapping a ring only requires a single probe, but complex systems with a gap and B... C... rings require one probe per ring division.
The first pilot to fully map an object and submit the data to [[Universal Cartographics]] will be given "First Mapped By" credit, which is visible when selecting that object in the [[System Map]].<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/

== Pre-Engineered Detailed Surface Scanner V1==
A [[Engineers#Pre-Engineered modules|pre-Engineered]] Detailed Surface Scanner with two [[Expanded Probe Scanning Radius Scanner|Expanded Probe Scanning Radius]] modifications called "Engineered Detailed Surface Scanner V1" can be purchased at Human [[Technology Broker]]s. Unlike unlocking most other Technology Broker items, which makes them permanently available for purchase with [[credits]] at station outfitting services, unlocking the Engineered Detailed Surface Scanner V1 immediately places one module in local storage at no additional cost. The module must also be unlocked repeatedly in order to obtain multiple copies. Applying any other Engineering modifications to this module will remove the bonus second modification. The pre-applied modification increases the Probe Radius by
