Detector on hover vessel
How do I assign it to the hotbar? Shouldn't it just be there?

Keep in mind the handheld is better to use when still in an HV. The HV detector has a longer range and you could be running in circles chasing things. I always find it better to use the hand held so that I only chase things closest to me. Also could be on the edge of enemy territory and run into trouble if you are careless.

Wrong. Detector gets automatically added to the hotbar, just the icon is bugged and it does not appear. If you have a weapon, it will be on hotkey 2, if not - then 1. You can see a little "1" in the hotkey, press it then LMB and it will pulse.

You are correct, I do see the little 1 and clicking the mouse activates it. I guess the missing icon threw me.

Thanks!

Wow, I did not know this. It must be new in 12?

Yeah I never use the SV/HV detectors for this reason. I don't like travelling half way around a planet for something that is detected. The Personal one is fine for me.

They changed it now. It's much better to have the longer range on the HV/SV (and now CV!) detectors.

What would they have changed it too?

When you activate the detector, it will show the POI directly on the HUD and map. You still have the red markers around your minimap if you want to follow them, but otherwise you can see the exact location (but not necessarily the name) of each POI or resource within range of the scanner when you use it.

Yea, I really really hate the new detection mechanic at least for the personal one. You can't see a deposit anymore on your HUD when you are near it.

Holy Crap! I just learned you can now put the hand Detector in the Toolbar and it will send an active ping when used.

Just ping it again, it will show. I kinda like the feature of not having everything show up all the time, keeps the hud cleaner now.

1 = drill
2 = weapon
3 = harvester
4 = detector
