Project: "Lucubrate"

[Starfliers]

S-APS01 "Lucubrate"-Class Active Probing Scanner An improved version of the Mk. VIII Scanner Starfliers Research Project The standard All-Range All-Purpose Science Suite Probing Scanner is available to many independent and organized research organizations within Sirius. The "Lucubrate"-Class is a custom improvement over the "Augur"-Class, as it has been worked on over a few years. Researching various objects and anomalies within Sirius has enabled the Starfliers to tune the sensor for maximum efficiency, at a cost. Only three of these scanner would ever be built, to be installed within the Starfliers M.R.V. fleet. . .

. . STAGE I Exploration & Discovery .	. . After multiple years of using the All-Range All-Purpose Science Suite Probing Scanner, we had begun to reverse engineer the scanner to improve results. In order to start, we had to learn how the scanner performs against multiple types of objects to get a baseline to compare it to. In order for us to do this with the least financial strain possible, adverts were planned to be posted in order to gain some contract work. This way, we would be able to gain some insight as to what others wanted researched rather than ourselves. Efforts Made to Complete Component Starfliers advertising their exploratory and research services Recovering a Dark Matter Core from the Uncharted Sectors with Bastion Dr. Batsbak showing the Starfliers their unstable rift to study A.I. requesting Starfliers to look for a barren world to call home Corsairs asking us to scan a "Judicator"-Class warship MND asking us to retrieve an artefact from the Uncharteds .
. . STAGE II Research & Development .	. . Planning ahead is difficult when we are relying on contract work to come through. Assuming that a handful of jobs did come through with varying research subjects, we would use the data we recorded to begin improving the "Augur"-Class scanner. We had known already that tinkering with the effectiveness of the scanner was one of our priorities, however we had soon found that the bottleneck for this entire project was the reliance on the Anomaly Batteries. Efforts are planned to search for a substitute power source, one that removes the handicap of refueling whilst adjusting the scanner's effectiveness to match the source change. Efforts Made to Complete Component Internal Record of the default configuration of our "Augur"-Class Scanners All Research Expedition Reports recorded by our M.R.V. fleet Superficial research on the Dark Matter Core Joint Research Testing on the Dark Matter Core .
. . STAGE III Construction & Outcome .	. . Once the scanner has been adjusted and a power source obtained, further investigation is required to ensure the power source is suitable to be integrated into our MRV fleet. If any anomalies or irregularities surface during this stage, the power source that we would be currently working with would be either safely disposed of or handed over to the Technocracy. Safety of our team is our number one priority, before making any form of technological advancement.

S-APS01 Starfliers "Lucubrate"-Class Active Probing Scanner Powered by the Deep Space Explorer's full capacity power core, the standard "Augur"-Class Active Probing Scanner has been fine tuned by the Starfliers to make use of the reactor. The internal wiring and tubing required to make use of the core accommodates a significant section of the ship's cargo hold. The new "Lucubrate"-Class scanner has been created to ensure the best data is retrieved from any points of interest without being held back by a battery requirement. Without any spare room to house a massive data server onboard, the M.R.V.s rely on the rest of Starfliers' research fleet for assistance. STATISTICS REMAIN THE SAME AS THE REGULAR ANOMALY SCANNER (Can negotiate for better balance) CARGO : 160 (Leaving 100 free cargo space on the Corvo) FUEL : '\S/' Starfliers ID IN-GAME NAME : Starfliers Active Scanner . . .
