==== ~~Survey scanners~~ ====

==== Mining survey chipsets ====

The Mining Survey Chipset is a passive module that enhances the [[Mining#Integrated Mining Surveyor|mining surveyor]] with detailed information on the number of units of ore available in nearby asteroids (allowing to, for instance, select the asteroids containing the most ore for mining). It also provides bonuses to mining critical success chance and mining critical success bonus yield, as well as a reduction in mining residue chance.

~~[[Mining#Survey scanner|Survey scanner]] are~~ a ~~mid-slot module which allow you to see how much ore/ice~~ is ~~present~~ in ~~nearby asteroids (allowing you to~~, ~~for instance~~, ~~mine the asteroids containing the most ore)~~.

* Only one mining survey chipset module can be fit at a time.

* The mining survey chipset is available in Basic, Tech 1, Compact, and Tech 2 versions.

Survey scanners have to manually activated and do not auto-refresh (so you need to periodically activate the scanner to update the information you receive); a scan takes between 4 and 5 seconds (depending on the survey scanner module). Unlike most other modules in the game, training the prerequisite skill ({{sk|CPU Management}}) does not improve the performance of the survey ~~scanner~~ in any way~~; the only way to increase the range of a~~ survey ~~scanner is~~ to ~~fit them to an [[Orca]] or a [[Rorqual]] (which have built-~~in ~~bonuses to survey scanner range)~~.

Unlike most other modules in the game, training the prerequisite skill ({{sk|CPU Management}}) does not improve the performance of the survey chipset in any way.

The various survey chipsets use very little CPU and power grid, and are primarily distinguished by their passive increases to mining critical success chance and bonus ore amount, and reduction in the chance for residue.

The various survey scanners use very little CPU and power grid, and are primarily distinguished by their range (how large an area, measured from your ship, they can scan). Given that nearly every mining module has a range of 15km or less (the one exception being the rare and very expensive ORE Strip Miner), the basic Survey Scanner I will cover every asteroid you can mine without moving your ship. The longer-ranged survey scanners are only useful if you're mining in an agile ship (e.g. a [[Venture]]) and want to fly around an asteroid belt looking for particular ore types, or if you are part of a [[mining fleet]] are are receiving fleet boosts (which, among other things, increase the range of your mining lasers).
