Ships Scanner

Archived from groups: alt.games.vgaplanets4 (More info?)

I know you have to use high power scanner and planetary scanner to have
100% of your ship hull scan range.

I know you have to be in space, not in orbit of a planet to get your
full scan range. (When in orbit scan range /2, and also sensor image /
2)

I know Ship using HYP engine have a big reduction of scan range (/4 if
my memory is correct).

My question

I read somewhere, that you also need to have your warp engine set to
maximum speed to get enought power to scan at maximum hull range, is
this true ?

The only way that speed can affect your ability to scan is that if you
are moving so fast that you pass beyond a good scan range of an object
before the next scanning tick comes up. Speed 400 fighters have this
issue. You actually have to slow them down if you want to use them for
scouting.
