Sorry to say... but many in here are so damn narrow-minded!
We finally managed to break one of the problems that scanners did not work. It was coded and it works now.
And then... we just stick that nice, nifty little new tool... on 1 % of the ships.
My suggestion is not OP.
I think, no one has even read it.
Quote:The best solution has always been:
> Rename the BS-scanner to "Extreme long range scanner"
> Enable it to be mounted by all classes (it's just an ultra-good high-tech scanner - npnp)
> Reduce scanner range to 18k
> keep the huge price tag
=> equal chances for everybody who wants to pay for that bit of advantage
=> no favouring of large transports that need no guns anyway
=> no favouring of 75 % nerfed pirate GB pirates over pure-tech GBs who would not take such a scanner
=> no disadvantage for snub pirates (snubs are disadvantaged a lot!)
=> enables LF scouts with high speed and enhanced scanner range
=> money sink open for every character (Disco needs ways to get rid of money!)
