Sensors and Scanners
Sensors and Scanners have multiple uses in the game. A list of their various benefits has been included below. The maximum number of Scanners/sensors allowed on a ship is 5.
- Increases the chance to successfully scan for planets
- Increases the chance your ship will critically strike in combat
- Increases your hacking potential and defense
- Increases the chance of finding random cloaked ships
The current maximum Scan that can be obtained purely from researchable equipment (ignoring any artifact, Race or Profession bonuses) is from 5 Chroniton Imager - Mark IIIs, which gives 6,900 Scan for 620 decks and takes a total upkeep of 471,500,000,000 (471.5 billion) credits per day.

1 Module stacks, upgrading its stats (including upkeep, but not its size) by 50%, up to 200% max. Unlocks Cybernetic Helm Connection ability when fully upgraded (One helmsmen is added to your crew; Cooldown: 20 hours).
2 While installed, Datastream Compilers give Explorers and Hackers double the Scan bonus.
3 While installed, Datastream Compilers give Aerlen, Genetarr, and Xecti double the Defense bonus.
4 Genetarr Transmitter will install as Mark II if you are higher than rank 50 when you first install it. It is therefore highly recommended that you wait until rank 50 before installing it.
5 Voliir Modulator will install as Mark II, doubling both the Scan and Energy bonuses, if you have at least one 'F.A.T.H.E.R.' module already installed when you first install it. It is therefore highly recommended that you wait until you have at least one F.A.T.H.E.R. before installing it.
