Smugglers make lot's of money (sometimes around 30 000 000 per run). Let them use this money to purchase something that will help them evade police or catch other smugglers with their police char.
Of cause this scanner should cost at least 250 000 000.
I think its hardcoded to be impossible to scan cargo or select targets at more than 10k.
BS scanner is already decent regarded to cargo scan. What i want is a better range for jintsuriki, like 20k or something. Smugglers shouldn't care about what other people have in their cargo anyway.

You cannot equip BS scanner on transport. I learned it the hard way
. Good bye my 250 000 000.
It worked in single player so I thought it will work in multiplayer too, but I just could not undock with BS scanner equipped.

On this
wiki page there is an Administrator Scanner listed. With ∞ range. Maybe it's still possible.

Nope.
Also, better scanners work both ways. Police can use them to find smugglers faster. Smugglers can use them to escape faster.

Yep. That's the point. Give people an item to buy so they trade more.

Nope.
It just takes hex editing some code in the freelancer.exe to make tons of sweeping changes to how scanners, targetting, and view distance works.
How do you think Freeworlds did it?
I don't really think this is a good idea to implement scanners with such cargo scan range. But it would be nice to make already existing Jintsuriki Scanner great again worth the credits it costs (250M), as a compromise. At least 4,500 cargo scan range would be great.
Or, just allow hunting smugglers cloaked and fining them retroactively.
