Scanners

[Govedo13]

I love the new change but the current available scanners are lacking big time.
I managed to find only 4 types:
1 Scanner - Detect Range 8k, Scan range 1k- beginner product quite ok for such.

2: Advanced Cargo Scanner- Detect Range 10k, Scan range 6k- I got the idea behind but bigger scanner range brings nothing in terms of PvP upper-hand because from 9,9k range with the Advanced Deep Scanner one can use the F9 scan and check the loadout of the said ship.
In terms of Policing contraband/ Pirating the 6k scan range does not change anything since the max CD range is 3,5k

3: Advanced Deep Scanner Detect Range 14k, Scan range 4k- this one is the clear winner, it is just better then the other 2 in all possible applications.

4: Battleship/Spyglass Scanner- Range 25k Scan Range 3k
My suggestions:
Scanner- keep it the same
Advanced Cargo Scanner- Detect Range 10k,Scan Range 10k
Advanced Deep Scanner- Detect Range 16k, Scan Range 2k
This gives some trade-offs and reasons to use Advanced Cargo Scanner at all.
Battleship Scanner- haven't tested that one, but if it indeed show the presence of the ships at 25k then you can add at least 10k for cargo scan range and assign to it let say 50-60 cargo so it cannot be used by snubs, keep the high price.
Also add more types of scanners. Consider to add some middle-ground scanner for around 100m price that allows detecting at lets say 16-18k and scanning at 6-8k- it would be nice moneysink.
