Weapon Scanner

Version 2

• Complete rewrite
• Complete multiplayer re-architecture
• Improved game mechanics

Identify weapon systems on Player and NPC ships

Multiplayer / Dedicated Server / Single Player

Short range scanner that identifies weapon systems on hostile ships. Works with vanilla and modded weapons, including weapon core.

Design Specifications

• Only scans large-grid craft
• Only detects large-grid weapons
• Scanner must be pointed at the target
• TSS can be used to display scanner results to any LCD
• Large grid scanner only

Use the Sensitivity setting to adjust the block's behavior.

• High sensitivity is more likely to identify weapons, however the scanning distance is very short.
• Low sensitivity has a chance of missing weapons, however the scanning distance is much farther.

LCDs can be set to display the scan results from any scanner on the ship.
