	David/Mica, Why don't platforms get Scan Reports? Or if there's some reason they can't have them, then howabout making it so that if a starbase has a platform in orbit with sensors it gets feed scan report info from the platform (i.e. any other starbases/outposts that it can see that happen to be on the planet)?

Yes, please! In BSE I was getting monthly scans of entire planets from recon planes - nothing like that now happens (the recon report shows up nothing). If the starbase report shows up what your platform(s) have scanned that would be very helpful! Richard AFT

	QUOTE Why don't platforms get Scan Reports? The actual platform positions do get scans (as far as i'm awair) as they are treated just like any other position. The platform scans are not shown on the starbase. Eventually the platform scans will be routed onto the starbase but i need to play with the between turn code to do this properly.

Well they're not showing up on the platform reports we're getting from KJC. There isn't a Scan Report section at all. QUOTE The recon report does do an active scan of the planet but based on the sensors on the platform.... I think this might be broken also, as it keeps coming back 'No positions detected' and their definately are detectable positions on the world. Kerry

I doubt that scans are not working as it would not work on any other positions. I also opened about 10 platfroms with scans in them and processed one to be sure. There were scanns in it. QUOTE I think this might be broken also, as it keeps coming back 'No positions detected' and their definately are detectable positions on the world. This is broken, just checked and fixed. Bit of a mix up with planet and system numbers. Fixes should be running later in the week. Its nice that its fixed the week that terrain modifiers come into play for landed ships and GPs

Shouldn't their be a Scan Report section on the Platform printout itself, or do we need to go with the starbase's Scan Report? Also if that is the case (going with the starbase's report) how are you handling scan reports from platforms that have been moved to a different location then where they were built? Kerry
