the loss of range is the #1 factor. I used that scanner for that reason. it was actually pivotal for my main char. i set it up that way because it was an option. as far as i assumed, the people in charge knew months ago people were using them for many ship types, and weren't losing sleep over it. imagine if your advanced deep scanner went from 16k to 8, and the deep scanner was at 6. i don't like being forced to change my set up, especially when there was no real reason to make the change, except to appease complaints from biased players that simply wouldn't use them as well. that ship kept me on disco, but is now totally different from october of last year when I created it. My RP thread proves it allowed me to track ships and increase my player interaction, as a pirate. many of those interactions grew into more. i received countless compliments from ships I had just pirated over my set up. Everyone else just wants to sit on a trade lane with a bomber and force transports into blindness so they have no hope of escape. well they didnt get what they want, and supported removing their own ability to re-balance piracy in their favor. foolish! So since I seem to lose this argument regardless of how much sense I make, I'm selling my stuff and giving it to my friends.
