ER Mineral Scanner (Extended Range)
Ok here is my shot at giving the miners/surveryors some love. What do you think about a single purpose, manufacturable Large port scanner with a 2000m mineral scanner range? Alternatively you could tweak/bump up the Valent large port scanner to actually be worth the Large port you sacrifice to carry it. Hear me out...
The idea is a large port scanner, which is heavy to reduce maneuverability and add negative tradeoffs to carry it, while having a high grid (so you can't use anything else, but it's better than the BHM2!). It's designed to be heavy so a bigger ship can be used as a surveying vessel because 500m scanning range on a capship is just punishing, but you are also not able to mine at the same time. Make it manufacturable using a bit of Sammic ore too (to make the ore actually useful).
ER Mineral Scanner (Extended Range)
-/-/-/-/10 requirement to equip
2000m range mineral scanner
18 grid (or 50 grid if you want to limit it only to capships like the QMB)
5000-8000kg
Maybe 20-30 Sammic ore
1 Queen Core
1 Queen Defense Matrix
Whatever other commods seem fair...
The alternate idea is to retool the Valent mineral scanner with the above stats because honestly I don't think anyone actually uses the thing at 700m range while giving up a large port when the Adv Mineral scanner is so much better.
Thoughts?

hehe sounds similar to my mineral scanner rebalance thread on a smaller scale: https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/39203
Active Scanners would be such a cool mechanic to have, anyway beyond that wishful thinking hell yes I want a better large port scanner, one that kicks ass!

Oh yeah I remember this one. I liked these ideas too. I was just interested in an upgraded range, manufacturable item that gives sammic a purpose which could help lg port ships including capships be an effective roid scanner.
