Cross-Spectrum Scanner

"NuView introduces the "OptiK3WL" Cross-Spectrum Imaging Visor. Integrated into the suit subsystems for all LYNX Salvage Employees, this scanner can be used to view the interior and exterior of salvage, in not just one but three imaging views!

The scanner is also integrated with LYNX's own Component Catalog. Keep an eye out for important, informative, and amusing factoids about what you're salvaging!"

- In-Game Description

The Cross-Spectrum Scanner, or simply the Scanner, is a tool integrated into the Shipbreaker's Helmet. It allows the player to see through ship bulkheads to identify hazards, the structural layout, and objects of interest when breaking a ship.

Modes
The Scanner currently has 3 modes:

Structural
The Structural mode highlights Cut Points and ship structural parts. Panels and components are color coded by mass. This is the only mode available initially upon receiving the Scanner.

Systems
The Systems mode highlights ship components and piping/valving based on their associated system. Colors are assigned to all the components and piping in any given ship system so the entirety is more easily identified. Some examples are Fuel, Cooling (cryo) and electrical systems. The Systems mode is currently the last unlocked Scanner operational mode in Career play.

Objects
The Objects mode highlights bespoke items and pieces of ship equipment. Objects highlighted in this mode are typically destined for the Salvage Barge, or are personally collected by the player. This mode is not intiially available in Career play, and must be unlocked with LYNX Tokens upon Certification advancement.

Upgrades
The Scanner has a number of upgrades available for it, detailed below.
