I think that if you want the old god-honk back, it's only fair you also have to use a module slot as it was in the old system.
You're asking for instant pay-off in planet location data. There has to be a trade-off.
While I wouldn't mind it taking a slot, I fail to understand why the ADS would need to occupy a slot while the FSS, which gives
far more information than the ADS ever did, doesn't need one.
In fact, I find calling the ADS "the god honk" one of those slogans that keep being repeated to the point they somehow become truths for some people.
ADS, aka "god honk" list of features:
- Discovers planet locations
FSS aka "the true explorer binoculars" list of features:
- Discovers planet locations
- Identifies planet types
- Gives planet detailed surface details
- Tags stars and planets with first discovery
- Identifies which specific planets have ground POIs.
- Discovers precise locations of signal sources.
Now which one is the "god honk" again?..
