Default Re: Scanners - WTF?

Don't confuse sensors with scanners.

Sensors (gravitic, hyperoptic etc) are used against cloaking.

Scanners enable you to see a ship's contents.

The reason there are different types is because either Aaron planned to add different scanners that were effective against certain types of Cloaking or just options for modders.
I believe modders can already implement this, if they want: A cloaking device could be modded that protects against phsychic sensors, but not gravitic ones, and so on. The reason you don't see it as that you ge to the point where all ships are practically invisible unless you research 5 different tech trees to their extreme...
