foreign hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous
well it would seem our prayers have been answered and by those prayers I do mean
we're getting an enhanced Xeno scanner it's already in game and it's available
from Rescue Mega ships it's also available from military installations what does this
mean for us well how is it enhanced how is it going to help us let's take a look
thank you
oh it all sounds very dramatic doesn't it our prayers have been answered but how many commanders
have gone into a conflict Zone packing those ax weapons turreted ones for example and they're
not being able to get close enough the 500 meter range of the standard scanner to do anything about
it other than shoot Scouts for me Ax weapons the turrets good old lead throwers have been no more
advantageous of the game then shoot in Scout and it's a lot of money from shooting Scouts
so I got myself over to a rescue ship this is the rescue ship Yoshida at this particular module is
available for military high-tech and Industrial planetary bases as well as the rescue ships to
go and get myself a couple for my battleships my anti-thyroid chips so straight away I got in there
into experimental and there was the enhanced Xeno scanner oh look at that fantastic 723
000 credits what's 127 000 credits just over a little bit more than what the Xeno scanner
is you could save double so how does it stack up well the normal Xeno scanner as we know as a 500
meter range all the stats there are the same right standard stuff power draw 0.2 megawatts now as you
can imagine with the new one there's going to be a higher power draw and there is 0.8 megawatts
but it does have a 2 000 meter range so what does this mean for us well it means a couple of things
really well looking at them side by side the only difference is the power draw and the distance the
scan time is exactly the same now this is not a problem we'll take this L day of the week right
because it's been a real pain playing your ship towards the thyroids with your ax weapons or even
your guardian weapons depending and then having to scan an Interceptor the basilisks the Cyclops the
hydras without getting blown to Smithereens so I thought great now I've got it let's get out there
and see what I can do with it well straight away one of the best things you can think about doing
is from a distance you've got more time to school and scan those Scouts that's going to get you a
little bit of information in your codex and her right and then also scanning those interceptors
you can take your time get within that 2 000 meter range you can start scanning not as dangerous as
what it has been it probably has not been a better time to get involved in ax combat even
for all the players that have come in either new to the game perhaps they've had a PC at Christmas
or for those people who have transitioned in from the consoles the PlayStation and the Xbox
it may be really proficient at doing ax Combat on the console PC could be a different ball game
anyway I have found engaging with ax weapons with this new scanner to be absolutely fantastic but
that's not all it has other applications as well we heard with the up and coming
14.02 interim update that there's going to be some more gameplay some more missions coming
doing the biopsies on the thyroids as well well having a 2 000 meter range with this enhanced
Xeno scanner upgrade it's certainly going to make things a little bit easier as you rock
in with a nice Frosty ship and then give them a good old enema up the trumpet well that for me
right that's a whole new set of missions and revenue stream anyway that's been my thoughts
on the brand new enhanced Xeno scanner upgrade that Frontier just popped into
the game without warning thanks very much for watching I've been Ricardo I'll see you soon
