Hyperspace Scanners

Jump Drives have the ability to jump to specific point in space. For this to be possible, the jump ship will require coordinates. There are two ways of doing this, a hyperspace scanner, and a hyperspace matrix.

Notes: Both the Matrix and Scanners must be built on a PoB.
Coordinates created by scanners will lose their accuracy after 30 days. They will still work but might fling a few hundred clicks from the original target.

There are three different types of Hyperspace Scanner, and one type of Matrix:

Name	Scan Time	Cargo Required	Fuel Required	Powercore Required	Accuracy
Hyperspace Scanner MK1	100 seconds	800	600 Mox 700 Oil 700 H-Fuel 800 Deuterium 800 Helium3	100000	90k within scan location
Hyperspace Scanner MK2	100 seconds	600	600 Mox 700 Oil 700 H-Fuel 800 Deuterium 800 Helium3	100000	50k within scan location
Hyperspace Scanner MK3	1000 seconds	400	10000 Mox 11670 Oil 11670 H-Fuel 13350 Deuterium 13350 Helium3	100000	25k within scan location
Name	Fuel	Cargo Required	Accuracy
Hyperspace Matrix MK1	Jump Drive Batteries	25	5k of vessel

The scanning begins once you type /survey. Once the period begins, you cannot move otherwise you'll stop the scanning. Once the scanning is complete you'll get a long string of characters. You'll need to write this down or copy it from the dsace.log file.

Once you've got this you can use the /setcoords command on the jumpship and supplying the coordinates,
the /jump command will now take you directly to where you scanned (within the radius of what you scanner allowed).

Using the /beacon command on a ship with a Hyperspace Matrix mounted will allow any ship with a charged jumpdrive to jump to it. Using the /jumpbeacon playername command will then jump the ship to the beacon ship (replace playername with the name of the ship that has activated the beacon). Beware, there is only a 30 second period where you can jump to the beacon, so timing is important.

(I am a little unsure about the amount of fuel required for the Mk3, can anyone correct me on that if it's wrong?)
