With the filter set to "All", anything that can be picked up by the scanner will be displayed, potentially creating a lot of clutter and making it hard to find the desired objects. | With the filter set to "All", anything that can be picked up by the scanner will be displayed, potentially creating a lot of clutter and making it hard to find the desired objects. | ||

A widely used setting is "Active Overview Filters", the first entry on the menu. This option sets the d-scan filter to match the currently active tab in your Overview window. However, note that the d-scanner does not differentiate by the states shown in the Overview tab settings. This means that it cannot tell the difference between friendly ships and enemies. Nor will the scanner give you the range to any ships that it finds. Thus, to pin down a ship you need to narrow your scan angle and scan in different directions until you find the ship's location. | A widely used setting is "Active Overview Filters", the first entry on the menu.
