Losing scanner range

March 16, 2006 8:20 AM from

I keep losing scanner range. I usually build some dedicated scanner ships (cargo hull, one small engine then loads of mk4 Scanner modules) and park them aroud the map on guard. At this point i have no "fog" and can see all about.

Then as I build and launch new ships (for example: a constructor) the view of the area defaults to that of the ships and planets which dont have scanners and the galaxy is in fog again. If I click on one of the scanner ships the real scanner depth comes straight back.

A few turns later a new ship is built and the process starts again.

EDIT: Sorry, this was supposed to appear in bug list.

I've noticed the same thing. clicking on the ship again bring its scanning systmes back online.
Maybe it is somekind of ship screensaver that has accidently been connected to the senser systems

happens when a ship with a smaller scanner range moves into or through the same square as the ship with bigger scanning range (also reported here https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=274&AID=107745)

(or at least that is the only time it happens to me)
