are fighters with spyglass/battleship scanners OORP?

Game mechanics, you'd cause more trouble making a rule YOU CANT USE BATTLESHIP SCANNERS than just leaving it as is.

Same reason Zoner battleships haven't been deleted yet.

Yea, was more about limiting ourselves rather than saying nobody should be allowed though.

Either of them on a small ship doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's fine for now. Might be ooRP, but not in a harmful way: you could say the same about "experimental and unique" codenames numbering the thousands in our version of the world.

I was going to post saying "wait for Kaz to make people squirm by mentioning his coding about it" but seems he's not went for it. I don't know if there actually are going to be limited to battleships or not.

The enlarged parts are bits I am affraid of really. I do not want to end up with three dozen worthless scanners however many months down the line because of sudden changes to this system making A LOT of grinding made instantly redundant.

Some admin green or dev amber would be appreciated on that topic.

Well honestly I don't care about their price.. or stats, but at least rename it from Battleship Scanner to something that doesn't include the keyword 'Battleship' in it.

Does it really matter?

It does, but not so much that I want to take peoples toys away.

I think it is quite ooRP to have a scanner of that size on other ships than cruisers and battleships, and the infocard also supports that.

Suggestion
Limit the BS/Spyglass only to cruisers and battleships, and create a specialized scanner for ONLY light fighters, like 20k scan range, 2k cargo scan range, so people can make long range scout/interceptor crafts, giving a new boost to LF use.

well that was the idea behind this, I was wanting 75th to get a upgrade to help them be better scouts, but there is sort of red tape and 3.5 billion credits standing in the way. lol

Spazzy got it right.
These scanners are the first real money sink after CAU armor.

Or create a specialized scanner for fighters, like 20k scan range, 2k cargo scan range, so people can make long range scout/interceptor crafts.

Ye. Snub variations should exist. Also extremely expensive, to be money sinks.

there seems to be a split on this issue. though like teschy/vulk said if the infocard was changed and the word 'battleship' removed, that would be good enough for me, and if the spyglass scanner is made by HF and not lane hackers then there is little chance OC would have them anyway..
