Is the spyglass scanners ingame cost a reflection on their actual worth?

[aakopa]

As far as i was aware the spyglass scanner is the fighter equivalent to the battleship scanner. (aren't they two separate objects altogether?)

Nope.

The smallest ship INRP capable to field spyglass scanner is Resheph. Anyone who says he mounted it on ships other than Spyglass/Arbiter and Resheph is just OORP.

What about Lane Hacker faction ships? Don't you think that we wouldn't make lighter version of it to snub craft?

Even your own leader RPed (if I remember the thread correctly) that the Hackers do not actually produce Spyglass Scanners, they simply have a store of them on Airdrie. They do know how to use them given they used to have the Fu Manchu, just like the original users of them (technically the LSF who designed it I believe), the Hellfire Legion who used them the most, and the Order who have their own use for them in the Resheph.

I also did a bit of RP as CR| about getting one working on a Thannie but it's not really to be taken as lore, just a bit of "player faction fun".

You may have been able to infer it from my (and some other) responses, but here you go:

It would likely cost even more inRP because while it is a more advanced design, there aren't any particularly well-funded production facilities (the only places would be Fort Leniex and... whatever the Order shipyard is).
ooRPly, a money sink is always nice to keep the traders busy. Just ask Jack

That is true about the Spyglass Battleship....they should just bring that back ...
...(why was it even taken out?))

Star Wars import.
Beautiful model - my absolute fav for all of disco, ever, since '08. I miss it too, but devs are import-shy.
It's the same reason they ruined the Spatial and Mafic.
Firefly is next.

But yeah, if any of you have been on a real warship, you'll realize that a sensor array of any serious magnitude is larger than a fighter plane all by its lonesome.
Shouldn't be able to mount it on any ship smaller than a cruiser IMHO, but hey, dumb things abound when it comes to what fits where and how much cargo it costs here in Disco land.
