To be fair, the scanner weight mod is as much for combat as it is for explorers.
If and when FD implement the proposed gimbals nerf, plenty of people are going to want this light-weight mod so that using the highest rated scanner doesn't affect speed and maneuverability as much.
Yeah, I remember. You are talking about something like this, aren't you, Ziggy?

When I first heard about the scanner modifications, I euphorically posted the news, just to be brought down by fellow explorers who weren't as impressed about it as I was
So will you prefer longer range or quicker scans?
For now I think quicker scans as I scan lots of main system stars, but I can see scenarios where longer range will be more useful.... choices, choices......
Has anyone considered using 2 DSS on one of the ships with enough slots?
One modded for speed to scan close bodies, and one modded for range to scan ones farther away?
Or is it moot for bodies farther away as its a nullish sum? take less time to get in range but it scans slower, or takes longer to get in range but scans faster... In which case the faster one would be better in every case.

Oh know silly me the whole thread so positive, you read it assume. If you have well i can only say different people see different things. Do you think it's a positive?
I do. Since I've been told to accept the inconsistencies in Elite I won't comment on the implementation; besides, I won't use them. But I do.
Arr, my greatest elite achievment thanks for reminding me that made my day. and best of all you cant read this.[yesnod] no ones on my ignore list i find i need a laugh from time to time, cant decide weather you or blackcompany are my favorite though.
Last week BC started a thread complaining that he had to turn his head to make a docking request you will have to do a lot better to beat that.
Now please no one quote me, ignorance is bliss.

I don't use the g engineers.
We definitely need Hackers now.... even more secretive than Engies (won't be hard!), and they'd stack up modules... Double DSS would be nice. Or mix two DSS hardware in the same module. Twice the performance.
*drools*
So, getting away from the toxicity for a minute...
Fast scan vs long range? what's everyone's preference?

Thanks for reminding me ... I still feel bad about raining on your thread.Yeah, I remember. You are talking about something like this, aren't you, Ziggy?

I should have shutted up or at least wait to see what the thread sentiment was before going Bah Humbug! But you know how it is, work is slow, customers a pain and then when a venting opportunity presents itself.
Here's hoping you're going to enjoy your new speedy angly rangy scanners! [up]
I was worried that decreased scan time would be balanced by shorter range, and long range by longer timing effectively nerfing the gain from day 1 so I'm pleasantly surprised again
SOOOOO much more gameplay!!

Ye mean third sight m8...I have two accounts and have been here before, just on a different platform. Although last time I was there, the factions were just beginning to be a thing.
Actually, there was a thread and vid clip on the forums last week with the guy using the slf in the canyons around colonia. Ive never used an slf but after watching that, I seriously want one. Plan is to offload 4 months of scan data at jacques, then the fastest possible route to ganktown...maybe the neutrons, aint used them yet, but I got a weekend free to make the entire trip.
I want an slf...dont care if its an explora keelback, I want an slf and thats that...even that would be better than the asp scout Ive been in since november last year. Its gotta go so as hateful the need is, I gotta go back to that place and get another ship...and an slf ^
On the plus side, Im playing regularly again after I genuinely thought I was done. Anyway...had 2klys or so left this morning...now have 2300ly...theres something wrong with me ^
Edit...on another unrelated bit from 2.3, I see the asteroid bases...ED version of eves POS perhaps? Regardless...I find meself in unfamiliar territory here as I start to wonder if I could get my own station and call it Bob Marley station. That is something I could work towards...hmm...didnt see that coming considering what I originally thought about colonia. Weird ^

The true rejoicing would not be over what they added for explorers but what nightmares they didn't create only to have to emerg fix over the next 5 weeks.

It is literally the most boring "update" I ever heard about. Were they dancing on the board room table over this because they were so excited to think it up?
