The ultimate of money exploits, you're welcome!

So we're getting the new scanner. It will replace the old scanner. So how much will this new scanner cost? More than the current basic scanner? Probably. But they'll just exchange, and give you money back if you had the more expensive ADS. Now, imagine the new scanner is 25k more expensive than the basic scanner. That means you should buy as many ships as possible, so you'll get a free 25k difference when 3.3 launches! If you're fast, you could earn well over a million cr/hr just sitting in the shipyard!

Oh, if you have too many ships your account will get funky and might crash. But that is the only downside. :)

I think they should make upgrades as loaned to prevent this. No cash exploit, and reduces the rebuy.

It is cheaper as i heared from the stream. You just get money back for the ADS. No exploit will happen

Fair dinkum.

What I'd like to know is, how will they handle the loaned scanner on freewinders? Wil the FSS on those remain loaned?

Yes, I'm bringing this up to crush peoples dreams of billions.

Cheaper than the basic scanner? So less than a 1000cr? It is cheaper than the ADS, but surely not cheaper than a 1000cr...

But how much time will you spend on filling up starports in the bubble with sidewinders? How much loss do you make when selling them? Will you still make money through that when considering an imaginational profit from the scanners? How much time do you need than to sell all those sidewinders?
And this all for.....peanuts???

Sry, i take my 1300t wing-beryllium SAR-mission, be done in 20 minutes and have made 25mil credits profit :rolleyes:

LOL! All Frontier has to do to keep that from happening is set the sell back price of the scanner to what you paid for it. And what a boring hassle that money making would be even if it worked.

Doesn't a basic scanner come as standard with every ship. I suspect this new scanner will also become standard.

That seems like a lot of effort to make a couple of million credits profit.

Besides, when similar things have happened before, FDev have just rigged it so you only sell a module for what you paid for it, rather than any new price.

You always have to provide translations so the mods know you're not being naughty.

Translation from Dutch through Croatian, French, German and finally English:

"It would be great, but do not worry, unfortunately. Good luck.

That would be a good thing, it is still good. No matter how big it is, it is still too low"

Happy to help clear things up :)

Reminds me of this:

At the time of this writing, the headline Mega Millions jackpot is up to $1.6 billion, and the lump-sum cash grand prize is estimated at $904 million.

In a Mega Millions drawing, five numbered balls are drawn from a drum with 70 balls, and a final bonus ball is drawn from a drum with 25 balls. If you match all six numbers, you win the full jackpot, and there are smaller fixed prizes awarded for matching some subset of the numbers.

There are 12,103,014 possible combinations of the first five numbers ranging from 1 to 70. Multiply that by the 25 options for the final ball and you get 302,575,350 possible Mega Millions tickets.

At $2 for each ticket, then, it would be possible to buy every possible ticket for $605,150,700.
