Scanning

Still fine tuning the descriptions and interface text (WIP02102016).

Scanning takes into account cross-section visible from source. Smaller cross-section less return. Additional to infrared and electromagnetic (Ship systems). For FPS noise will be factored in from guns/footsteps.

Ship and personnel are the same system.

General Area Scanning
Circular progress bar charged with button press. Marks targets on HUD. Currently a “golf swing” mechanic, charge up and let go. Last quarter is the sweet spot, lower is shorter and higher sends out a traceable pulse.



Direct Scanning
Rounded square brackets to designate targets already acquired, focused scanning to gain additional information.

Debug Information
&#42; These values were seen at 5:55(citation 1) and the other values were missing.

''&#42;&#42; [Speculation] As scanning commenced the number of channels listed increased. These values seem to be associated with ship systems.''
