I am familiar with the Law of Diminishing Returns, but ????

I have the following items installed:

| 32 Sensor (103) - 10 mus
| 20 Sensor mkIII (105) - 10 mus
| 12 Survey Sensors (380) - 10 mus

This gives me:

| Sensor Rating: 90%
| Planetary Scan Rating: 58%
|Sector Scan Rating: 123%

Yet if I modify to the following:

| 32 Sensor (103) - 10 mus
| 20 Sensor mkIII (105) - 10 mus
| 24 Survey Sensors (380) - 10 mus

This gives me:
| Sensor Rating: 90%
| Planetary Scan Rating: 38%
|Sector Scan Rating: 121%

Different planet perhaps. Planet size affects planet and sector scan

Thanks Nik,

But that doesn't resolve the issue.

The two printouts are based upon straight ship reports --- no scanning of any type.

The first was done on initial install.
| Sensor Rating: 90%
| Planetary Scan Rating: 58%
|Sector Scan Rating: 123%


Waited a couple of turns and installed the additional and lost value.
| Sensor Rating: 90%
| Planetary Scan Rating: 38%
|Sector Scan Rating: 121%

I can understand the Planetary Scan possible going down, but the whole purpose of survey sensors is to help survey.

Confused.

Survey sensors improve GPI results, I don't think they improve sector maps.

Survey sensors reduce the error margin when scanning for minerals.

Thanks Mica, wink.gif

But that still doesn't answer the fundemental questtion of why the scanning capability went down with a "positive" change in Survey sensors and "no" change otherwise? blink.gif

I do not have the full picture here.
Was there a change in effeciency?
Were you in orbit of the same planet?

Hi Mica,

Here's another listing.

I added 5 survey sensors to my sensor ship. I dropped off 5 reg sensors. Please notice the difference. Originally my sensor scan rating was 99 and my sector scan was 133 and my planetary scan was 67

But when I got rid of 5 reg scanners and added 5 survey sensors, my sensor scan dropped to 98 and I seemed to have lost my sector scan and planatary scan altogether. This is just the readout from my turn without scanning anything. I was docked both times

Also, the info on the addition was accomplished -- after R&R and a Maintainance visit.

With the decrease of the sensors, it makes good sense that the Sensor Rating is dropped from 99 to 98, but what happened to the:
A. Planetary Scan Rating
B. Sector Scan Rating

I was docked both times

Are you absolutely certain that you were docked at the end of each turn?
Can you send me copies of both turns.
