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%, and is considered essential for any pilot wanting to use exploration as their primary source of income. | 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.
