Hey everyone,
So I was just talking with a few buddies tonight and the thought came across my mind.
It would be so much cooler and easier if the Discovery Scanner and Detailed Surface Scanner had the ability to detect anomalies in the system. Example: After you use the Disc. Scan in the system, the ship computer should say "System Anomaly Detected" or something like that.
Then you would now buy into having to do a Detailed Surf. Scan on all the planets in the system to find the anomaly. Eventually, after a Detailed Surf. Scan, the computer should say "Planetary Anomaly Detected". Then it would follow a similar process to some of the missions already in the game.
You would be given a signal to follow and as you descend towards the planet, the signal will "triangulate" and move around the general area until it pinpoints the actual "anomaly".
I just think that this would help with overall exploring and finding different things in remote places. This would work well for finding unknown Guardian Structures/Ancient Ruins, Thargoid Bases and INRA bases or things like that.
TLDR; Disc Scanner/Detailed Surf Scanner should detect anomalies in systems/planets to help explorers find things like Guardian Sites, Thargoid Sites and unknown "secret' human bases.
Thanks for reading!
