Idea: PoB Station Scanners

[Kosa]

I know I know. PoBs are OP already. I can take the rush of you PoB haters but please listen. The thing I'm proposing is nowhere a game breaker and makes sense inRP (imo).
It's been many times that I was landed on a PoB and before launching to space I'd really like to look out the window to see if there are pirates around. You can't. No window. Even the bartender plastered the ones in the bar.
Well Stations usually have long range sensors equipped.

My proposal is the following:
Add a stationary radar to PoBs

I can think of 2 alternate ways:

1. The simplest. Just add it. While docked (and alternately logged in as admin) you can scan if there are ships around using a "/base scan" command the station would show you all uncloaked ships in a 20-25K radius area. (FLHook command) This would only show you the ship name and affiliation of the ship. Pretty much what normal scanners do in 9K minus the target scan to browse weapons.

2. Needs a little more coding but also is more realistic and it is also a moneysink.
Add a new module called Scanner Module. You must build the module on a free module slot first to enjoy the benefits of option 1.
