[#1799][6.20] Can scan L\XL ships without a scanner

Post by Mookau » Sat, 9. Mar 24, 18:13

OS: Linux
Version: 6.20
Language: English
Modified: No
Game Start: Budgeted Start

Problem:
Player is able to proximity scan L/XL ships without a scanner.

How to Reproduce:
  • Start a new game without the spacesuit scanner.
  • Get dropped off in the path of an L or XL size ship.
  • Fly your spacesuit towards the ship, and once close enough observe the information unlocked percentage increase from 0%
Save File:
Player in spacesuit is positioned in front of a Phoenix:

Notes:
This shouldn't be possible without a scanner, and functions as expected when trying to proximity scan station modules.

Research:
This appears to be a result of the proximity scan on L/XL ships defaulting to scanner 0, regardless of scanner level (which is -1 without a scanner). Station modules use the max scanner level for proximity scanning, and function correctly.
