Sensor Processing Unit (Ore Scanner)

Description

Sensor Processing Units are used in Sensor Lenses. Their functionality changes depending on the cartridge.

When you turn on the Sensor Lenses, it creates an overlay in your view showing the location of ore nodules. Ores are colour-coded and labeled with their chemical symbol. The ore scanner for the sensor lenses is far superior to the tablet version.

Celestial Scanner

Shows the locations of celestial bodies including planets and moons orbiting the planet you are on, e.g. Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Phobos, Deimos etc.

T-Ray Scanner

Shows a colour-coded overlay of all nearby pipes and cables.
