So I will try to make this thread as none inflammatory as possible But I have a huge beef with the PWS.
Mainly that it feels useless.
Why?
Well Lets start with this;
The Pulse Wave Scanner (PWS acronym will be used here forth) does not make a distinct relationship between "Valuable" mats/resource/wares and stuff that all of use would call junk and/or worthless when appearing as a Bright Orange Color.
The PWS does not highlight Low Temp Diamonds and/or Void Opals neither does it highlight any thing that you are specifically looking for.
So What is the point of the PWS?
Are we supposed to make a correlation between these glowing rocks and the rocks next to it that arn't glowing? This is acutally the case in a 50:50 ratio that rocks in the immediate vacinity have a chance of being what we/you set out to look for. So why not make those rocks glow orange or for that matter add additional colors to this spectrum? Isn't the PWS suppose or intended to atleast point us in the right direction for what we are looking for? Yet It doesn't. Again what is the point of something that doesn't function? "emits a fast-moving pulse of energy that will briefly highlight any asteroids with lucrative deposits within range " This happens so often that you can effectively stop using the PWS if you are looking for a specific Prospector drone target or if you have enough Prospecting drones to begin with. When all you need is a few hundred limpets and just start sending them out at random targets/rocks.
