Re: Which scanner is the best choice?
Yeah... mod 'em
In my current mod:
Hyper optics: 40 tons like normal.
Tacychon Sensors: 20 tons, research cost has been reduced to make them the easiest to get... but they get spoofed by stealth armor and cloaking easier than hyper optics.
Gravitic Sensors: 50 tons, stealth armor has no cloak vs. them & cloaking devices fail often (level 3 cloak can only beat lvl1 grav scanner)... a new cloak device that works well against grav scanners is available (also 50 tons) through the same research, but it dosen't cloak vs. normal (you need both the gravitic inhibitor and cloaking device)
Temporal Scanners: a bit better than hyper optics but only 30 tons. Can defeat the best nebulas.
Psychic sensors: 40 tons, but only lvl 1 is vunerable to any form of normal cloak... Psychic shielding is available (but requires psychic trait) to block lvl.2, but lvl 3 defeats EVERYTHING! Psychic people have the best sensors, but I didn't improve on their weapons as I did for temporal.
