Hello, Ive been going to about 7 ports that are supposed to have the ADS but no one does, i went to the stations according to Roguey.co.uk. am i doing something wrong, am i even able to buy it...yet (rank, ect)

ADS is built in to ALL ships as of 3.3, it's comes standard now. Look in your firegroups, it's there :)

But now it's Basic Discovery Scanner - its range is only 500Ls. There is no more ADS in the game.

The scanning mechanics have been reworked with 3.3.
In this vid there should be everything you need to know about it:

it doesn't have a range, it's done manually and can see all planets in a system no matter the distance

ADS has been removed its now in the built into the scanning mode.

They changed the exploration system quite a bit. Now you have the detailed surface scan only.

The changelog says that it is based on the basic variant, so I assumed the basic variant discovery range limitation, too.

But it does have the distances limitation for planets. It only sees stars regardless of the distance. To see planets around a star you need to approach to around 20 Ls (passive discovery).

The manual scans are done with the FSS scanner, which is different with the "bangy" discovery scanner.

New one is quite fast when you realise what it can do, so if you are looking for certain type planets example you can see it right away that there is ones in system or there is not ones.

I came back from a couple years off and had to learn this new mechanic.. it rocks. The separation via radio freq/mass is huge in getting rid of the clutter and finding what you want.. and the fact that if you do a basic scan and know the planet and align with it... super useful.

This is a huge quality of life improvement in the exploration space.

They sell them in Colonia.

Have you checked hutton orbital?

(ADS is not a module anymore. but dds (detail discovery scanner) is still a thing.) The best module selection is typically in high population High tech or industrial economies.

Nitpick: that's DSS (Detailed Surface Scanner).
