Accuracy on Survey Moduels - nOmnomnOm - 10-17-2017
Just how accurate is an MK3 Survey moduel?
On the wiki, the accuracy is described as being 30 , 20, or 5.
30 being least accurate.
But what does that mean? Does it mean in kilometers? Is that a percentage?
And finally, would a dev or someone be able to tell me if these Accuracies were changed?

Odd, I do not remember them EVER being so accurate.
The reason why the surveys were never accurate was to avoid players jumptrading or smuggling without a chance of being intercepted. Otherwise it would be easy to place a coordinate right above the destination base and just instadock before a demand is made.
[survey]
nickname = dsy_hspace_survey_module_1
coord_accuracy = 90000
[survey]
nickname = dsy_hspace_survey_module_2
coord_accuracy = 50000
[survey]
nickname = dsy_hspace_survey_module_3
coord_accuracy = 25000

So this would be 90, 50, or 25k around a point in 3D, is that correct?
In that case, that means a ship can land anywhere in that "bubble" around that particular point in space?
RE: Accuracy on Survey Moduels - sindroms - 10-17-2017
Yeah.
Which means that for a 90k one, you best put it as far away from the sun corona bubble as you can.
RE: Accuracy on Survey Moduels - Goliath - 10-17-2017
So....the distance between the coordonate and the place you get teleported to is fixed? Or varies up to 90-50-25km?

So there is a chance to jump inside the sun corona. Is there any danger from other solar objects like planets, stations, big rocks?
Time to update the wiki and forum tutorial with this new info then.

You can spawn in any point within range, there is no check whether there is a solid object in the way, meaning you can jump inside a death zone. That is why you shouldn't survey anything with those obstacles in the way. It also means surveying Omicron Major has a very big chance of getting the jumper killed instantly. Same applies to other objects that are not supposed to be entered via /stuck, as the Omicron Delta Azurite Reactor, planets or suns.

So the surveyable systems are limited cuz of envrimoment?
RE: Accuracy on Survey Moduels - Sombs - 10-17-2017
No, nothing is limited. It is literally as I wrote.

I wanted to say that certain systems may be too dangerous even to attempt a survey scan, so jumping may end worse, right?
