Ship Builds & Load Outs Question about Fast Scan DSS mods

[Fanghur Rahl]

I just managed to get my detailed surface scanner upgraded to the grade-5 'fast scan' modification by Juri, which I've been aiming for for quite a while since I am mainly an explorer. But I just realized that I wasn't sure if there were any downsides to it besides increased mass and reduced integrity? When I checked the description, the text part said that it increased scan speed at the expense of scan range, but I don't remember the blueprint images/charts saying anything about a decrease in scan range, nor have I been able to find any other information that confirms or refutes it on the wiki or any of the tutorial pages I could find.

Can someone clarify this point for me? Does my increased scan speed cost me scan range?

I had a look at Coriolis and ED Shipyard and they show just increased mass as the side effect for improved scan speed (Inara and ED Board show the same), it'd be hard to gauge any changes in range as the scan start distance is down to the mass of the body being scanned.

Yeah, I've looked all around and I haven't been able to find any figures whatsoever about it. But the engineer description says that it 'increases scan time at the expense of range and integrity', so I'm really confused. Did Frontier just forget about that little detail?
