A lesser racial trait, No Advanced Scanners sacrifices the ability to build penetrating scanners in exchange for extra advantage points and increased range for non-penetrating scanners.
Specifically the following scanners will be unavailable:
Some other components have penetrating scanning ability. These will remain available and their normal (non-penetrating scanning) range will still be doubled:
- Scout, Destroyer and Frigate hulls (for JoAT races only.)
- Chameleon Scanner
- Robber Baron Scanner
- Mega Poly Shell (if obtained from the Mystery Trader)
- Langston Shell (if obtained from the Mystery Trader)
- Multi-Contained Munition (if obtained from the Mystery Trader)
Mineral packets belonging to Packet Physics races will also retain their penetrating scanning ability (though their range is unaffected.)
