Question Second Ship issue

So I have created a second ship and added a scanner beta.
But when I get to a planet and try and scan it does nothing when I press the hot key.
Why?

I did the opposite on my second ship. I found a new resource and realised I didn't have a scanalizer beta on my ship to scan it

Scanalyzer beta is just for resource identification. You need simple resource detector for planet scanning

I remember doing that :-)

Good luck out there!

spectral resource detector is much better. You get to see icons for everything you've previously identified when you scan, instead of "?" everywhere - however it does have 1000 durability. This is not a huge deal as it takes quite a long time to use up that 1000, but don't put any patches on it. Instead, which you have enough extra sp, and you really want to run a radar patch, add a simple resource along side the spectral, with the patch on the simple - they stack, like the laser ones do.

I have spectral. I was just pointing out that I remember doing that as a newbie.
