Let's make the BS scanner fun and maybe quite useful

[Savi]

How about we make the BS scanner able to detect cloaked ships from 1k range? It would be quite fun. And how about the BS scanner would detect enemy capital ships from 20k range? (if it's easy to implement)

Only usage the BS scanner it has now is for doing missions and not loose the loot from range and farm nomad BSs

EDIT: Or make it like 5 million cheap, only mountable on battleships. (if it's possible, again)

Battleships scanner with 20-25 km scann range for battleships and Cruiser scanner (Capital ship scanner) for invisible ship detection? Basicaly if only a BS is capable of detecting cloak targets....thats useless considering the lack of CD slot and its very low speed...cruisers on the other hand have the second lowest speed of all clases ( not considering the barge) and abusing a inviz scanner would be harder in this state than mounting it on a gunboat/bomber/fighter or what the heck on a iterceptor.

GREAT ideea but here is my resolution:

Cruiser scanner > similar detection range as desco scanner + invisibility detection for up to 1-2 km
Battleship scanner > 20-25 km detection range

How that sounds?

+1 if the CD/cloaky thing is fixed, the price stays at 250 million, and the BS scanner is only mountable on BS's. Great idea.

Well, then cloaks would instantly become useless. LN, for example, are so paranoid about cloakturtles, they would all switch to BSs only to stay alive with such a scanner.

This.

Cloaks have enough disadvantages.

Ridiculous fuel consumption rates, huge cargo requirements...

Can't we leave something as it is, for once?

If its not broken, don't fix it.

[sindroms]

Well...to be fair, the cloaks are broken. Sneak up, uncloak /l1 and pew pew is way too easy.

However, this depends on the region. This cannot be balanced out throughout all factions, sadly.

I agree with you,BS scanner isn't so much useful and it still costs so much.It would be really great and much more useful if it could detect ships in 20k range.
And about detecting cloacked ships in 1k range,that would be good too but it's not so much necessary i think.

[Waratah]

Make the battleship scanner worth its money. Make it be able to cargo scan from 10k and detect from 20k.

No point detecting cloaks as they are useless anyway, uncloak near me with no shields and your dead.

Ship detection range is a hardcoded limit.
Not sure on cargo scan, though.

Reason to have it now is that it has higher range in nebulas that otherwise reduce the range.
