Make a turret that is a combined cargo/addon/roid scanner all in one, taking away slight offensive capability but adding a bit more utility to a cap ship.

Range- 2,000m
Mass-50,000kg

You want a roid scanner that can scan up to 2km? This is way more than "a bit more utility"

Some adjustments could be made, but keep in mind that this is for a capital ship. To effectively mine it (at least with more than one beam) you'd have to get out and fly over to anything you mined 2 km away.

It's painful to scout out an asteroid field right now with current roid scanner's range. Being able to scan from 2km away is literally a game changer for mining, since you no longer have to fly near each asteroid and you can quickly pinpoint the ones with valuable ores.

+1 I like this idea.

-1 -- this technology should be built in, free of charge

I would be fine with it being built in, or if it had a range of 1000m. My numbers were just a starting point, it's the idea that I am most interested in. Balance it as need be.

+1 as addon or builtin.

If I remember correctly there was a huge debate dedicated to whether a sensor suite should be built in or not. Either way would be preferable at this point.

+1 greenwall and +1 to nith

TTM should get a sensor buff and this turret should be added as well.
