cargo scanner usable in supercruise

[moonsword]

How if the cargo scanner can be used in supercruise?

idea:
FD please give me missions to scan ships in supercruise (authority missions) to hunt down smugglers, trying to smuggle cargo that are not allowed within that system.
And without a mission running in that system, using the cargo scanner gives you a fee.

This and also the kill warrant scanner make sense to be useable in super cruise.

To quote a good friend: I don't like it.

The step of interdicting a ship in order to scan it for cargo / warrant is a key part of the process and carries with it risks and consequences, which I quite like.

Isnt it weird you can scan a ship and check out its internals no problem, but if you want to know its cargo you need a separate device, same goes for the kws, we have galaxy wide instant communications but if you want to know 1 specific thing about pilot you a need device that requires a small sun to power

The cargo scanner may give you a likely report if it detects any illegal goods in supercruise ,like unlikely to most likely. In order to be sure you have to pull the scanned ship out of supercuise and begin a detail scan of the cargo.

The original designs had a requirement for a separate scanner to check out internals, too.

The amount of scanners in this game is totally out of control.

This whole thread makes alot of sense, please lock it and ban all participants immediatly. This is almost as bad as people who try to effect the BGS. They should all be banned for maipulating the system.
