Problems with Long Range Scanner in Avarice - Fix in a build after 5.10 HF3.

Hiho,
just checking, my long range scanner seems not to work in the system of avarice. Is this a mod conflict or intended?
Thanks in advance,
Keeshah.

My LRS works fine in Avarice, IIRC. Are you sure you are not using the LRS during the storm?

The visual effect for the LRS, where the two blue bars get closer together, has not been working in any system for me since 5.0 so I have to time it by audio alone (it was fine in the beta). I also have the same problem as you with the scanner not working at all in Avarice. It looks like it works, but the stations are not revealed on the map. This is not during the storm.

Yep, same here. No question marks on the map/gravidar when using long-range scanner in Avarice.

So, this is apparently still a thing. I am undoubtedly within scanning range of a pair of stations, almost within reveal range, and using my Long Range Scanner does not provide ?s on the map to mark the unknown stations.

I use no mods, have not ever, and this behavior persists through a reload of the game.

Here is a copy of my save. The player will load in facing the stations in question. A long range scan will not reveal the stations ahead: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dXwUCJ ... sp=sharing

If we could get some official word on whether this is intended or bugged, that'd be swell.

Interestingly this had nothing to do with the gravidar-hiding regions, only stations with a Protectyon Shield Generator were affected. This will be fixed in a future update.
