Although looking at it in the outfitting screen the DSS seems to be only one type, it seems to work differently depending on which ship it is installed on. I am on a long time exploration voyage in my fleet carrier, I left the bubble approx 18mths ago and the different suits with the different hand scanners came out after that. On arriving at SagX I bought the required suits and started looking for biologicals. I realised that sometimes landing my Corvette on a planet could be difficult due to size and so started using my Diamondback Explorer instead. This works very well and I have made several first footfalls etc.
In my Corvette when I mapped a planet I rarely took more than 5 probes ie North/South/West/East and Bullseye and very rarely had to move to the far side to scan. However I find in the Diamondback that now I almost always need that extra probe on the far side. At first I thought that the reason was the Corvette is much bigger but looking in my carriers outfitting dept it seems that the scanner is the same size/type on all my ships so it should work the same you would think.
Not sure whether I am just nit picking or not but is there a reason for this or am I doing something wrong?.
