Talk:Scanner Room Range Upgrade/@comment-51.6.143.97-20170824093811/@comment-7844119-20180221103226

Oh, let me disagree. They are useless at finding resources, but they are wonderful at scouting the way into dangerous territory.

I set up a couple lockers on the lower deck of Cyclops, with materials for the scanner room, thermal plant, hatch, power transmitter. I'd deploy the room at entrance to a new "risk zone" - entrance to ILZ, entrance to ILZ main chamber, bottom of the ILZ sinkhole - then scout my way with the drones and leave them at notable / tricky points like the exit from the sinkhole, the door to power facility, etc. Then I'd re-check the route on the hologram, remove the range upgrades, deconstruct the outpost and pack it up back into Cyclops, then go to the new waypoint to repeat the process.
