Lilith Delcroix	I was wondering, is there actual difference between the Bilogical, Energy and Multiple sensor pack? The descriptions mention some focus scans and stuff but I found no option for anything like that, though they all have Implemented icon. Tried all three of them and they all seem to let you share Perception/sensors with NPCs, Biological and Energy also display Shield and Ionic values on ships, without those I just see Hull value and nothing else.

Elijah Shoryyhn	Good question Lilith. If we can get some definitive answers here then I'll update the descriptions so it's more enlightening. :D

Lilith Delcroix	That would be cool, thanks. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Til Shaedlaer	AFAIK it worked like this: Biological Sensors could show biological stuff when scanning (I think how many passengers/NPCs were onboard of vehicle/ship?) Energy Sensors could show nonbiological stuff (RMs, Vehicles docked in ships) Multisensor Packs could do both... I'm not 1005 sure though if I don't mix up something as I didn't do much scanning ;P But as scanning has been changed a bit ago, now all sensor pack types just allow you to share sensors with other entities. NPCs also have to have sensor packs equipped to be able to share sensors with anyone. ____________

Mikel von Bianchi	Sensor packs still do what Til describes. When focus scanning you see the number of passengers, ionic value, etc. based on the sensor pack you have equipped. ____________ [19:48] .Zhao> Items know they're inside me

Lilith Delcroix	okay, how do you focus scan? I have tried all three of them inside and outside of a ship and couldn't find any new button or anything that would let me do a focus scan. The Hull, Shields and Ionic value simply show on Scanner when I am outside and click Ship tab, though the last two only with sensor pack equiped. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Elijah Shoryyhn	Awesome, I'll get those descriptions updated soon. Lilith, just do a general scan, which is clicking the large scanner button and then beside each of the entities that come up (those in range) is a smaller scan button. Click the smaller one to do a focused scan.

Lilith Delcroix	I think I have to be blind... I go to Travel screen, click on the Scanner button on top, I get list of stuff I can see. I hit + to see the ship that is on the same location as me and all I get is name, location, owner, hull, shields and ionic, no other button or anything. I think I would have noticed some new button =P ____________ Moons can't fly.

Elijah Shoryyhn	I think you're doing it already, but just in case... It has to be an entity within range of your actual scanners. If it's a friendly unit out of range you may still click it and look but will be unable to do a focused scan. General Scan: Focused Scan:

Lilith Delcroix	okay, maybe I should have been more specific, I meant using one of those three sensor packs, not scanning from a ship, I know how to do that =P It doesn't matter which one you have equiped when using the ship to scan, its not using the item. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Elijah Shoryyhn	Using an MSP the only thing I can see that it does is provide more information for ships. But no, it doesn't seem to allow a focused scan of any type, for any entity. probably hasn't been implemented yet.

Year 12 Day 244 23:43	Sensor packs
Mikel von Bianchi	Ah, I had forgotten that the focus scan on foot was removed (shows how much I get onto the ground). If you un-equip the sensor pack, does it still show the ship's shields/ionic? Because it shouldn't unless you have the MSP/ESP thingy equipped. ____________ [19:48] .Zhao> Items know they're inside me

Ellias Aubec	I thought they allowed you to scan docked entities, since you cannot tell who or what is inside a docked entity. ____________

Year 12 Day 245 3:46	Sensor packs
Elijah Shoryyhn	Yes Mikel, if the MSP is un-equipped it will not display those values. If it is equipped then it will display thow two values along with the hull. Only shows this on ships though and nothing else that I could see.

Lilith Delcroix	I said it at least twice I couldn't be Ionic and Shields without sensor pack equiped. MSP and Energy sensor pack show them, I think it was Biological that didn't. Ah, so there is suppose to be focus scan feature on foot but its not there, thanks. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Jax Starblade	“...and they all seem to let you share Perception/sensors with NPCs... - The Customization Goddess ” So say I have Perception at 3, and my NPC in my party has Perception at 4. If I'm equipped with a MSP will I now have the same Perception as my NPC, or will it need a MSP as well? Thanks for any help! ____________

Year 12 Day 245 11:56	Sensor packs
Mikel von Bianchi	The NPC would need a sensor pack equipped as well. It's great for equipping to remote squads as they patrol a city and you sit back with your high-powered sniper rifle. ;) Lilith: Sorry if I read over where you said that. I've been a bit busy and frazzled lately. ____________ [19:48] .Zhao> Items know they're inside me

Jax Starblade	Wonderful! Thanks Mikel! ____________

Year 12 Day 245 12:10	Sensor packs
Lilith Delcroix	Yeah, what Mikel said, you and the NPC need sensor pack each to share. Its okay, thanks for the help. Now we need some coder to put back the focus scan button =P ____________ Moons can't fly.
