See everything in your star system.

Overview

Once the equipment has been activated, it lists every single object in the star system, in order of distance. Note that the direction of each object is not given! If you want to see if there is a Generation ship or a Thargoid around, this will tell you! It also gives the bounty of each object, if applicable.

Telescope does not have the unlimited range, but is rather more useful as it does give direction.

For notes on use of primable equipment such as this, see Priming Equipment

Long Range Scanner only works during flight and it is activated by an F6-F6-F5 key combination.

The key combination displays the menu. You can

  • get a list of all objects (running to many pages - note that you can only scroll forwards, not backwards),
  • jump to the orbital station or
  • jump to an object on the list.

The jump brings you to 10km of the chosen object.

If you have bought Jump Planner (another equipment item included in newer versions of this OXP), select a distant system from galactic chart and then press F5. Long range scanner will have an option to Display Target System Info and it will give additional options which are interesting.

Download & Installation

This is an OXP, not an OXZ: download from here. Unzip the file, and then move the folder "LongRangeScanner.oxp" to the AddOns directory of your Oolite installation. Then start the game up and the equipment should be added. See OXP for more details if needed.

See everything in the entire star system. And get there instantaneously. "Cheating" for players. Invaluable for OXP designers!
