Title: Unscannable objects?
Post by: Vrets on March 27, 2010, 06:16:15 pm

I want to have the player scan a SpaceHulk (Sathanas fragment).

The object is set up to be scanned, but there is no option to scan the SpaceHulk ingame. Am I correct in assuming that not all Fs2 objects are set up to be scanned? If so, is there anything that I can do about it?

Thanks.

Did you check "Scannable" in the ship properties? You might also have to toggle subsystem scanning.

There are some things that can't be scanned but I don't know if this is one of them.  Make sure you have cargo know turned off, scannable checked and give it some cargo.  Also it's listed as a supercap with no subsystems so that may be an issue.  Try toggle subsystem scanning if the above doesn't work.

Thanks, everyone. Toggling subsystem scanning did the trick.  :yes:

I'm curious as to why that made a difference.

It's a toggle not an on off.  For cap ships it turns off subsystem scanning which is the default but for smaller ships it turns on subsystem scanning which is off by default.
