Malfunction or Malice?

[Ulysses_W]

Ok, so the exploration CG to go scan as many systems as possible to try to find out what happened to Starship One reveals that a catastrophic failiure of some kind caused the ships destruction. My condolences to the family.

However, I'd like to know where one can buy one of these all singing and all dancing discovery scanners, because ADS I've got installed seems to only be capable of detecting Suns and planets.

Singing and dancing DS? I guess game cant offer you something like this this CG is only about selling exploration data, there is no intention in finding starship one itself

 

[Ulysses_W]

My point is this (if I've got this right), they used the exploration data to determine the fate of Starship one.
What data would that have been? As I said before, my ADS only returns planetary bodies.

I suppose I'm being pig headed and sarcastic really, I just don't want to blindly accept that an instrument I've been using almost daily has, all of a sudden a whole new set of data gathering facilities I know nothing about. It smacks of a made up thing for this CG.

If I've got this wrong, then I'll hide my (pig) head in shame.

Ads is designed to show you Stella objects, but will also detect many minor signal anomalies that are not relevant or understandable in isolation. Cross referencing raw unfiltered scans of the same location may give enough information to identify smaller things

The implication is that we should be able to detect every time we scan destroyed ships, or be able to see wrecks. Both if which would be a funn addition to exploring. Scanning a wreck for data or artefacts.

Exactly, CMDR Whiterose. But in reality, we can't. Hence my comment that's it's been made up for this CG.

I don't like it no I don't.

Well, the official wording was that UC will use the data to find anomalies compared to previous scans. I thought that meant miniscule changes to planetary orbits or something like that.
