Survey scanners 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). For more details on how to use survey scanners, see [[Mining#Survey scanner|survey scanner]]. | Survey scanners 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).

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 Op|mining fleet]] are are receiving fleet boosts (which, among other things, increase the range of your mining lasers). | 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).
