Detailed Scanner: Is there a guide to the different blue graphics?

th03bgt · Mar 7, 2015

In a similar vain to the Stellar body graphic in the recent newsletter, is there a graphical guide to the blue icons that are displayed when you lock onto an unexplored body?

Thanks for any replies...

Unfortunately it is impossible to do right now, as there are some missing and some incorrect...

That said, Cmdr Nutter, didn't Jackie put a version of this up on your main thread which shows, at least, what we think they should be?

Jackie Silver? - Yes, I'm desperately trying to get back before 1.2 8,000ly to go, once I do I will give the guide a lick of paint

I haven't been back to check, but I'm sure I remember JS sticking an explanation in there somewhere.

Good luck with your return trip; I look forward to hearing about it, and reading more of your guide

My only tip is Type I Gas Giants look like rocky planets, but Gas Giants with life look like gas giants so if you see a Gas Giant with the colourations of the life bearing ones, target it, if it looks like a rocky planet it will be a Type I, if it looks like Gas Giant it scan it and it will 90% have life

That may explain why I'm struggling to work out the graphics if they are not being assigned correctly ATM.

Thanks for the heads up.

Is there a link to the thread referred to in the post by EMarkM?
