How I would like to scan planets for ancient ruins- visual concept

Scanning planets by eye is tough, I did it for the barnacles and the formadine rift and the ancient ruins. I have done concepts for scanning before but here's how I would like to do planetary scans, with a co-pilot to find some cool !!!

Well I would hope at some point we will get npc crew so we could hot swap to the roles in the ship like we do with the ship launched fighters.

This is a very good idea and is very well thought out and scientifically and technologically feasible. Unfortunately all of these things mean FDev would reject it.

I'd like to go fetch the Voyager probe from Sol and drag it out here. Its 1200 year-old equipment could probably find the ruins before I do by eye.

Well done, OP. FDev needs people like you working for them.

Great stuff :)

This should be in-game.

Great idea :D

Please allow this to be possible for solo commanders as well.

FDev have said we'll be able to hotswap between the roles, so whatever Tactical can do a Solo Cmdr would be able to drop into. Could totally see this working Solo on lower G worlds - set the ship to hold or cruise at the different heights and scan around.

If you enjoyed this you should also check out ToCo's other concepts, including the badass scanner one.

Also the Orrery / Tactical Multicrew concept he posted recently on Reddit.

All good stuff, and a lot of great ideas in there for exploration.

Hey dude, cheers for the link, I rushed this one out as that guy put up a post about explorers making some noise!!
Hopefully getting planet coaster so I can make some interiors of things soon!!

Yes!! Would love there to be methodology to scanning rather than the blind crawl we have today.

I'd also like it if this type of system revealed a geological map of surface materials so we could narrow down where to survey in the SRV.

Hi ToCoSo. We share a home system ;)

Suggest you add your other concepts to the first post and have this as the location to advertise them. Others will link back to this thread and maybe it will attract some Dev attention.

Actual Tools for actual Discoverry that even make sense? Count me in for that any day :)

Yep, that's about how it should be.

heres my previous surface scanner visualisation, http://imgur.com/a/M0TUo
and yeah I think that adding this mechanic would open up so many gameplay opportunites. From mining, to missions and even more things to hunt for storylines.

I can't get the imgur tags to work :(

Lets also add something i literally CRAVE:

Colour coding of POI.

My sensors should damn well know the difference between a rock outcropping and a radio tower.
