Cyclone RN

The Tumbril Cyclone-RN is a civilian light reconnaissance vehicle that is part of the Cyclone series. It is used for scouting runs, providing fast and detailed scans of terrain as well as beacon placement.

Scanners
The Cyclone-RN features an exploration and recon package with a dedicated scanner for ground reconnaissance. As with all scanner systems in the game, it will pick up anything with a detectable signature, such as IR or EM. The difficulty of picking up that signal will depend on the item’s output and your equipment. It wouldn’t tell you if there’s a derelict or loot around the corner, but it should be able to tell you that there’s a large structure in the distance.

The RN’s upgraded radar system will have a longer range and better detection capabilities than the standard Cyclone, along with data banks to store a larger amount of scanned data to help with the mapping of a planet’s surface.

Beacons
The Cyclone-RN comes with a supply of small beacons that may be placed to mark important locations on the ground. These beacons give off a strong signal that may be picked up by other vehicles or ships with limited scanner strength; even in dangerous or obscuring conditions, such as a sandstorm.
