Name Long Range Scanner
Cost 250₢
TL Availability 2

See everything in your star system.

Overview

Once the equipment has been activated, it lists every single object in the star system, in order of distance. Note that the direction of each object is not given! If you want to see if there is a Generation ship or a Thargoid around, this will tell you! It also gives the bounty of each object, if applicable.

Telescope does not have the unlimited range, but is rather more useful as it does give direction.

For notes on use of primable equipment such as this, see Priming Equipment

Long Range Scanner only works during flight and it is activated by an F6-F6-F5 key combination.

Or in the Long Range Galactic Chart, press F5 to display the menu. You can get a list, jump to the orbital station or jump to an object on the list.

If you have bought Jump Planner (another equipment item included in newer versions of this OXP), select a distant system from galactic chart and then press F5. Long range scanner will have an option to Display Target System Info and it will give additional options which are interesting.


Download & Installation
