Wake Scanner.
- Thread starter Arnak
- Start date
You have to target the wake first before you can use the scanner, like you have to target a ship first before using a cargo scanner on it.
If you are in normal flight, a wake will appear as a white 'box', and you can use whatever keybinding you have to select target ahead and it will be selected. You can also use the contacts panel in the left HUD and target through that.
And it should be a high wake.
It works on high wakes in super cruise.
Also hardpoints have to be deployed ........
And bound to a key in FireGroups . DOnt forget that. Target the wake just like a ship. Deploy Hardpoints. Set FireGroup to the one with the wake scanner. Pull appropriate trigger. Scan the wake.

Hi Cmdr's
Thanks very much for all the replies.

I can set the target in the contacts menu but not using the joystick hat switch, that switch will target other items but not the fsd wake.
It may be a power issue as some modules become disabled when weapons are deployed.
It seems that even when hard points are deployed and even when that weapon group is not deployed they still use power, is that correct?

Interesting - you can't deploy hard-points in super-cruise can you?
So how can the wake scanner work without deployment then if it has to be deployed to use in normal flight?
Is the same true for KWS now too?
That's never worked. The cycle targets only works for ships/stations. It also doesn't work for cargo, mining fragments, resources. Point your ship at the wake and use the select target button.
Yes.

Just so you know, Collector Limpets is best by not targeting Mats/Canisters else they jus go pickup 1 at a time.
Well, even if nothing "deploys" physically you still go into that mode to fire stuff on your triggers (discovery/heat sinks/shield cells).
After all utility doesn't have to deploy. Only weapons do.
And no, ship related special scans (cargo as well) don't work in SC. At least not last time I tried (2.0).

You have to target the wake manually (by looking at it and using your target ahead keybind) or be targeting the ship that goes into one (it will automatically change to a wake in this case). You can then scan the wake using whatever fire group it's set on.
