why is the range so short 
dont want to flame but it would be more usefull if the astoroid surveyer had a range of 15 km or atleast 12 as thats the range of miner II's
is there a reason for the short (5 KM) range

That's something I've wondered about myself. People may laugh and call them useless but to a miner they aren't. You need to be able to tell how much ore is left in the high end asteroids so you don't pop them for one thing. For another, it helps determine optimal ship placement during an MO. At the least I hope they introduce Tech II survey scanners...

haha the real me is back 
it just did not seam right to use the second acoounts alt in here
anyway anyone else care to comment agree/disagree a 5 km range does no one any good in my opinion as you have to be alot closer then mining range to use the darn things
Thank You

Just takes longer to approach a roid and scan it, making it more dangerous if you're out in 0.0 for instance. I guess the reason is to have those that would like an organized mining op to take more risks, spend more time scanning roids and find techniques to work around this so that it just isn't too easy. But yeah, I could use some tech 2 scanners myself, tbh, although it's probably the least of my worries at the moment.

maybe the thing is the scanner would be much more usefull if you could use it to find the biggest rock in a field and then travel to it instead of looking up the rocks manually to find the biggest one (under show info)
either way i dont think a tech II surveyer would be much better as they will proberly only give it a small range boost

Sure it would be more useful, but then it would make things way too easy, that's like a tech 5 scanner :P.

Survey scanners should at least cover miner range. I would be very happy if the survey skill would increase the range of the scanner (and not decrease the time of a cycle) - the skill would be trained better than level 1 - and it had some use ...

I'd add ore name filter to the scanner.
And add long-range but targeted one.

yeah having the skill add like 1.5 KM (or better yet 5 KM but i should not get greedy) would be good
either way PLEASE give the scanners some loving

Actually - asteroid surveying is a great use for Covert Ops frigs / Cloaks cos you can happily fly around an asteroid field in perfect safety, scanning until the cows come home without getting touched by the NPCs :)
I KNEW that 150Mil investement would pay off :)

There are modified scanners like the ML-3 Amphilotite Mining Probe that has a 5750 meter range but I agree that this is still to short. Why not make the modifed ones have atleast 12km range. Oh and as a side note.. the ML-3 doesn't work properly. It won't scan for 5750 meters. I've had riods at 5600 meters that won't show up...

happens with the normal scanner, too. plenty of times a <5km roid won't show up on the list...
ideally, a TL2 scanner would be passive and simply add in the ore amount to the onscreen popup when you rollover it in space:
Crokite (7,647m) [420 units]
now that would be awesome...
there is a fine, but dissasterous line between a fart and a shart. i suggest you make sure which side you want to be on... |
