All there ever is is the decision of the devs.
Allow use of pre 3.3 Advanced Discovery Scanner

There is no good reasen why both systems should exist either. It's all down to personal preferences.
I think my biggest gripe about the FSS is I can’t engage it while hurtling through space like an absolute madman.
“Throttle down” it says.
Bah

There's no other module that can't coexist with every other module, so you'd need to justify why the FSS/ADS situation justifies being different. Your argument so far has come down to "I don't like it", which isn't particularly convincing.
That's just an empty statement that never was thoroughly explained but about 500 times repeated, which makes up for a good brain washing attempt at best. Followed by a very speculative weak argument. It's not an optional slot as you comfortably say, it's the consequence any decision should bring. You want more options but no consequences? Good luck with that. In the end you'll get nothing cause you are hanging your fruits way too high. But that's your decision that I have to accept of course.
I don't think there is any need for tin-foil-hattery, there is simply an ongoing demand for long standing features that were (as it turns out) needlessly removed.
They just need to be reinstated, nobody loses out, it is that easy.
This is not a complex problem.

That does make sense, and is how the game worked from launch to 3.3. However this proposal is only about reinstating the old functionality (in an optional way to avoid oppressing anyone). If you start a new proposal thread (with literally just what you wrote here) I'm sure many would be happy to discuss it.
The ADS and DSS coexisted with overlapping functionality prior to the FSS.
You could scan a body with the ADS - the DSS just provided an extra level of info.
The FSS now provides the functions of both, but only does the DSS part well.
The ADS could quite easily come back in its previous form and the overlap would be identical to before.
Not being able to and not wanting aren't the same things.
That was the way it used to be, FD wrecked that - FSS is the new basic.
In essence the FSS being considered "a very basic discovery tool" is a fair and reasonable assessment of it. What is essentially being suggested is that an ADS-replacement/SMC module is added to provide the topographic map on honking in ANY system for those that miss that feature for whatever reason.
Balancing should not really be a concern in the main.
Regular cargo racks and corrosive-resistant cargo racks?
But why limit it to optional slots when the FSS isn't optional? There are plenty of optional modules that improve the functionality of core ones:
SCBs
HRPs
Guardian FSD Boosters
And in the utilities you have Shield Boosters.
Talking of utilities, would a 'Body Location Scanner' utility that populated the System Map using the direction and distance information already known by the FSS be more acceptable to you? It could be A-E rated, with the higher levels giving extended ranged, at the cost of weight and power - just like SCBs
That's actually what I was hoping the 3.3 exploration update was going to provide - more optional tools, more outfitting choices. Instead we got exactly the opposite.
Just improve planets location scan times! Thanks!
Create a thread in the Suggestions forum. I'm sure you'll get plenty of support. I certainly wouldn't object.
They'd have to remove the engineers to do it. That's the point. They aren't willing to remove the engineers.
Luckily for me they don't need to remove the FSS in order to resolve my problem.
What argument? I am just pointing something out. When people say these things, they need to realise it can be used the other way, which it can be.
I have not idea about what you mean by "I don't like it".
You won't because you can't. The picture has no context with what I was saying. It's meaningless.
Nah, I can, I'm just not willing to because I know you'll ignore it and get confused.
Ba ha ha ha. That's rich coming from you.
