I was able to clear the mission in question even with this mod installed, so I updated the mod.

Sorry for the late reply. I understand that you had a problem with the plot of the ToA DLC.
I'll check that as well. I hope I can fix it...
I didn't change anything about the performance of the spacesuit scanner, but I did make a small change to the wares.xml to avoid an issue where the spacesuit scanner could somehow be mounted on a scout plane. That may be the cause.

So uhm.. I ran into a thing..
Trying to do the station module thing for Axiom, but I seem to be completely stuck on it.. I can only scan the signal leaks, if I'm in a scout ship and doing so just resets the quest telling me to launch the EMP again to create signal leaks..

I don't understand, is it really nessecary to nerf the standard spacesuit scanner into oblivion, making it completely useless to make this mod work?

I've also finished adjusting Sapporo and scanner levels.
Yasur's patch is here (I'm not too confident about it though)

Please let me know if you have any issues.

I will also look into support for Sapporo and the issue of the scanner not picking up all ships.
This may be because the scanner's minlevel=2, maxlevel=3, and fill=1 are not working as expected.
This should probably be resolved by deleting minlevel and fill and setting only maxlevel=3.

I see, thank you.
As for Yasur, he was a limited edition special ship that was set as a reward for the online element that was being tested in 6.10.
Perhaps the developer doesn't want it to be modified.
I tried to see if there was a workaround, and I think I found one, so I posted a patch specifically for Yasur.

Ok i understand that ... but what the heck is a yasur ??? i never heard of that ship or seen it ...what npc uses it? what type of ship is it ...

Besides, not every ship is claimable by this scanner. Sometimes nothing just happens. And when I'm trying to claim the ship from spacesuit, it says "you need advanced space suit scanner".
There's even one moe "level" of scanning I assume?

Great, thanks! Because I've tried to add Yasur support by myself and failed, hope you'll find a solution.
Because the only way I've managed to do that is editing ext_03.xat of Ventures 'dlc' directly. It seems that Ventures loads as the very last mod and doesn't take the 'patch' inside this one mod. Tried to handle it through dependency but game just says "i have no idea what ego_dlc_ventures is".
Still, I have modified ventures now and had a chance to try out your mod, it's really neat.

I don't have plans to make all ships that aren't scouts compatible. (If I start doing that, I'll definitely have to include patches for ships from other mods eventually, so I don't intend to go that far.)
But let's make an exception for Yasur, since he's a special ship. As for large ships, Sapporo, which was originally set as a research ship, would be a good fit.
I have other things to do today, so I'll update these two ships tomorrow to make them equipable with military scanners.
I wanted to add something special and useful to unique ships (e.g. Experimental Shuttle) and ships that are a bit plain in vanilla (scout ships in general and Sapporo). That was the original purpose of creating this mod.
Wheat Tail 17 Sep, 2024 @ 1:57pm 
Is it have to be on recons only? I'd love to have one on my Yasur
knightphantom420 17 Sep, 2024 @ 1:04pm 
this would be more useful on cap. ships then scouts .... imho

Updated
The issue where the military scanner was not displayed on the experimental shuttle in the Remergence environment has been fixed and it is now compatible with Remergence (the recon plane added by Remergence still does not support scanners)
To be honest, I had forgotten that Remergence is a mod that makes changes to the experimental shuttle.
