Xeno Scanner [Mk II]
- Thread starter Pralines
- Start date
This may sound stupid, but what would you use it for? If I fly into alien occupied systems, they already pop up as signal sources. Or can this detect things like Guardian ruins at a distance or something?
The original Xeno Scanner allows your ship to obtain basic hull information on Thargoid Scouts / Interceptors with a basic scan and Interceptor heart info on a detailed scan.
I don't recall there being a Mk II variant, but if there is one being developed I hope it has more range than 500m...
as i said, i don't remember, it is probable this MarkII scanner was in INARAlong before update 13
(it isn't listed in EDDB)
but with update 13 we have already a new green relic (to give to engineers)
and FDev implied there's other things to discover (in places already known),
so i wondered : maybe new xeno scanner (found in the .exe ?)
with greater range or faster scans

Not long time ago, during fighting in HIP 22460 in AX CZ, we spoke about it, how it would be useful to have much better xeno scanner, because there's no time to scan
interceptor like in NHSS. Everything is moving very fast and you rarely have a chance to do detailed scan, and interceptor can kill you until you finish scanning.
That's the reason why many cmdrs didn't use it in AX CZ.
Maybe next CG for Palin or Ram Tah will offer this MkII scanner as a reward. Maybe today. But now, it's not enough to fight back in HIP 22460, now we need protection
for guardian weapons and modules, something like AX Shield generator.
