Rules for ship scan

[eddieb]

What precisely are the rules for scanning cargo in Prophecy.
Do you have to have the target locked? Is it based on time? Is it based on distance. If someone could give me numbers for time/distance requirements that would be great. I'd like to have Flight Commander's cargo scan behave similarly.

IIRC - it's based on distance and target lock. If you are locked onto one of those space containers, you'll id its cargo if you get close enough (probably around 2000 metres?). There are no time requirements. I don't remember the exact details - I suppose someone with WCP or UE installed can access one of the sim missions with cargo containers and let you know.

And if you find Rebel scum, blast them! No, wait.

...When you find which shuttle has Ackbar in it, disable it...
