Information Unlocked

[Landomatic]

Anyone know how to get to 100% on larger structures?

Need to enable SCAN MODE (SHIFT+2) and then fly close to ALL PARTS of the stations. To me some of the parts do not unlock tho.. so i gave up getting 100% scans on the stations.

You need better scanner and some parts of station you need personal scanner, so you need to get out of your ship and scan them by personal scanner

Is there a definition on when you would need the personal scanner?

Yeah that would be good to know.

Whenever. Just hop out of your ship and rescan the modules

Why should i Scan Stations. For what should this be good?

[CMDR Erik Alan]

Modules and information

[Autositz]

Just for clarification... About WHAT TYPE of scanning are we talking here now...
1. The red scan dots that unlock discounts and blueprints?
2. The generic station scan on each module to reach 100% station scanned.. with so far no benefit? (at least i have not noticed any benefit after scanning a station for 100%)

Information Unlocked is the 100% scanning a station, requiring you to go up and closely scan every single module on the station and does absolutely nothing but waste your time

1.) I don't know what scan dots you mean. The signal sources?
2.) Yes the station/ship/module scans in short range scan mode.

also Trying to figure out what this signal source needs to interact with it. No icons I have access to give me any clue what that blue bit is with the briefcase looking bit.

That icon is a delivery mission you can accept which was unlocked after you listened to a transmission close to a station. The sparks thing....

Sort of. It's actually useful if you want to know what the object produces/trades to determine it's value and also potentially interrupt commerce; so you can undermine trading/production and divert some of it your way.
