Blueprint Scanning

[Darmak]

I've been doing the research to scan various modules to get blueprints, but I haven't started actually going out and doing the scans yet. Will I need to go out in my spacesuit, or can they be scanned from my ship?

You'll need your spacesuit. Also EMP bombs to guarantee you'll get the blueprint.

Watch where you place the emp`s too, try and place on a flat surface, for some reason the scan range is just infront of your face not a good distance away, the scan breach can be in a gap or behind something and you will not be able to scan it. You get 4 scan signals, worth getting them all as 1 will give you the blue print, for me its either the 3rd or 4th one, also getting all 4 will grant you a permanent bonus.

Hmmmm, so get EMPs, park ship away from guns, place EMP on flat surface to try and ensure the breaches don't spawn in awkward places, detonate and scan the breaches for 1 guaranteed blueprint and some other bonuses. Thanks for the help, all!

Beware in the current version of the game local station police will respond to EMP's.

One EMP at a station shouldn't get you in trouble, but carrying illegal wares in your inventory will get you shot at in the spacesuit.

One EMP won't get you in trouble, but if a police vessel witnesses you scanning, it'll go hostile. Good practice to have a teleporter researched and use it for a fast getaway should that happen. You can hit a station with 2 EMPs without it going hostile, but don't try more than that. A hostile station will kill you really fast.

If a police vessel gets mad, you can just come back and scan the leaks. Those won't go away immediately.
