Extremely short scan range

[Amos]

Hi folks. First of all, I am playing on 3.0 Beta version. After swapping from the beginner ship to Falcon Sentinel, my scan range has become extremely short. I mean, I have to get within 2km from a station to see its type.

Any idea why that would be? And yes, I am new to the game.

If you are new to the game I would suggest you start a game in the stable build and wait for the beta branch to become more stable before switching to it, 3.0 beta branch has several severe bugs that can be considered game breaking. Check the comments in the stickied thread regarding.

Game is pretty complex and fun but if you have to fight trough bugs while still figuring things out, might become really frustrating ^^

If you are a new player I advice you to stop playing 3.0 beta and reinstall the 2.6, there are tons of bugs in the beta if you buy new ships they cant see any ships on the radar so it makes further gameplay impossible, the bug is known and the devs are probably working their butts off atm to fix all the bugs with the 3.0 beta :)


welcome aboard btw hope you enjoy the game :)

oh I see. I've been waiting for 3.0 to jump into the game, so installed the beta as soon as it became available. Might have been a mistake, it is a beta after all :)

Thank you guys, really appreciate it :)

The beta is pretty buggy. I have noticed this bug also and out of sector ships don't register stations either. Trade offers aren't refreshing also so stations remain with ---- values.

Make sure you bought advanced scanners? I pretty much never look at basic sensors.

Wake up bro, this is a bug in the 3.0 beta, this is not a sensor issue :) merry christmas santa

When you say scan do you mean normal sensors and not scan mode? There are reports of a few bugs with sensors in 3.0 so it should be fixed shortly.

I guess radar range would be more descriptive. No ships show up on all my ships radar. Satellites work.

He def. does not mean active scan, he means the radar sensor meaning he does not see ships within the radar range, scanning is wrong word in this case

yes, I meant radar sensor (passive), sorry for causing the confusion :)

Actually pr. definition a radar is active all the time, it sends radio waves and recieves them :) there is no true passive sensors in the game. just to add to the confusion ;)

ahaha you are right, I meant it in a game-related definition, as it is passive for you, unlike scanner that you need to actively use.

Oh gee such The Expanse vibes. Anyone else hyped for season 4?
