Short range scanner ship item

Works like Terran scanner tower, detects any unit in space be it asteroid, rocket or person. Helps fix how retarded it is when a random asteroid flies out of nowhere and hits your combat ship forcing you to dock and reset engine power to heal. At least with this experienced people can see it coming and react.

If a miner grabbed this it would make the miner unkillable. They could always escape before ships get close.

i agree with Dumbmarine, and if it got reduced to a range where it is no longer useful against enemies, then it would no longer work on asteroids as some of them are VERY FAAAAAST.

There is an item in the game currently that mitigates asteroid damage, its called a shield generator.

I don't think it would make miners invincible. Since there are asteroids flying around as well, its not that simple to distinguish between enemy ships and asteroids. Especially later on when the asteroids start flying slower and ships starts flying faster.
