Max Scan

According to Toastar's forum topic, updated March 29, 2014:

I currently calculate it as 29629.
Max for a Litheor Explorer using only repeatable items is 24691.
Max for a Litheor non-Explorer using only repeatable items is 19089.


  • The Following is Up-To-Date as of 7/1/13.

Note: When you add the 3 additive temporary buffs (Prejor Decrypted Data, Tachyon Cylinder, and Subspace Seeker) or the bonuses from the datastream compiler for being explorer or hacker, they are put in before the titanproxy effect or any other permanant percentage buff is applied. Make sure to use the additive buffs before you apply any percentage buffs, since temporary buffs are applied in the order they are listed in your Effects tab on your ship stats window. It should also be noted that when applying a temporary percentage buff, such as a Continuum Beacon or a Stryll Seeker, they are applied in the following order:

Standard Scan + (# of TitanProxies*100) + Temporary percentage buffs + (# of TitanProxies*4%) = New Scan
