I got an idea for better use of Advanced Cargo Scanner ( ACS in future text ) , that will be both in RP logical and in practice more useful . It can be done in 3 different versions :
1. Scanners will be reworked that only ACS will be able to Scan Cargo of any ship , rest ones can scan everything except Cargo . Smugglers and Traders will have more freedom and they can Lie to Pirates they don't have cargo ( so that can get off with cheap bribe ) , or Law forces they don't have Contraband if they see they don't have ACS . Players will be forced to use something else than Battleship Scanner , or to team up with player with ACS .
2. Scanners will be reworked that only ACS will be able to Scan any CONTRABAND in Cargo of any ship , rest ones can scan every cargo and equipment , but CANT detect Contraband . This idea came to my mind when i watch Star Wars last night , when Han Solo and gang hides in Smuggler stash on Millennium Falcon . In RP , Police would normally not be able to detect Contraband in secret stash anyway , except if they run extensive search , or use special Cargo Scanner . As for under 1. players will have to use ACS in group ( or to be creative and lead suspect to nearest NPC police ship , which WILL detect Contraband and start firing on suspect if he don't drop it ) .
3. POBs can produce special equipment that allow Smugglers ( and traders in version 1. ) to hide content of their cargo ( or contraband only in version 2. ) from all ships except ones equipped with Advanced Cargo Scanner . Equipment will be called something like "Smuggler cargo pod" , it will be mounted in Equipments slots or docking module slot , it will be relativity easy to build , so that POB owners cant justify selling price more than 50-100 M , and it will take up to 200 cargo space , so that it will not reduce cargo space significantly .
For all 3 version , Advanced Cargo Scanner will have reduced range to 8k/6k , so that is only worth equipping if you specifically want to scan for cargo , but you will have very low search range .
Additionally , if people like current Advanced Cargo Scanner with 11k/9k , we can make entirely new scanner for this idea , named "Contraband Detector Scanner" or something .
Opinions ?
