The '''directional scanner''' ("d-scan") is a built-in device that comes with all ships and can detect most objects in space at long range. The directional-scanner is an extremely powerful searching tool, especially for PvP, in all sectors of space. A d-scan can cover an area with a range of up to about 14.3 AU (appx. 2 x10<sup>9</sup> km), and at an angle from 5° to 360°. When used the directional scanner lists all valid objects it can find within the scan area. | The '''directional scanner''' ("d-scan") is a built-in device that comes with all ships and can detect most objects in space at long range.
