The Discovery Scanner is a unit that fits inside of a internal compartment and allows you to scan for unknown astronautical objects within your area.
This module is extremely useful in "busy" areas of a system as locating all of the astronautical objects in a given area where there are many is extremely difficult due to the objects getting lost within the backdrop of space.
This object is given inside the Sidewinder you start with as of Beta 2.04.
There are 3 Levels of Discovery Scanners:
- Basic Discovery Scanner with 500LY range worth 1000CR
- Intermediary Discovery Scanner with 1000LY range worth 500'000CR
- Advanced Discovery Scanner with ???LY range worth 1'500'000CR
Usage
The Discovery Scanner must be assigned to a firegroup. The assigned control to trigger the scanner must be held down to charge the unit. It will tell you when its scan is complete.
The Basic Discovery Scanner also seems to have an effective range of 400Ls, so multiple scans from different areas of a system are adviseable.
