Newcomer / Intro How to Interact Using Data link Scanner

[Factabulous]

Update that list with the Mamba. Worked once before, but couldn't get close enough yesterday (except once, shortly, but not long enough to complete the scan).

Yeah, Mamba is a pain where the FdL is fine. A shame as it looks like the data point should fit between those two big pontoons, but it just 'won't go'. I'll be sticking to my Eagle, fast in, fast out - sometimes they don't even know they've been scanned

Here's something I haven't figured out that would make my life in the SRV much easier...

In the ship you can press the A button to target something that is in front of you. What is the corresponding button for the SRV? Right now I have to go to the target panel as described above and select a target there.

The SRV has its own key for "target ahead". You can set it in options under "driving" or "turret" or something similar. It's easiest to set the same key you use in our ship.

Done. That got rid of a lot of confusion.

Hello I did as you mention, but It does not work for me, I use a scanner very oftern and now how to use it, but when I want to use the scan the data link it will not scan, any idea what have I done wrong?

Tbh. I'd have to check that myself - I will make a screenshot later today, can't do so right now, sorry.

I have the same issue. My scanner is equipped and locked onto the data link ect... but nothing happens it just wont let me scan.

Bit of a necro there so it was a bit "tl;dr".

Have you got the scanner assigned to a fire group and a key bind to "fire" the scanner?
