Economy Scanner is a starship technology.
Summary
Economy Scanner is a starship technology and allows the player to check a star systems' economy in the Galactic Map without having to warp to that system.
Without it, the player would have to actually warp to the system to check its economy. The scanner allows this research to be done without ever having to warp. This saves warp cells and makes it easier for players to find high-economy systems as well as systems of the correct economy type for a trade route.
Game description
An upgrade to the starship's galactic-scale sensors. This device allows the user to access detailed economic data about a system without having to visit.
Sources
The Economy Scanner can be bought for 300 Nanite Clusters from a Gek Blueprint Vendor in the systems' Space station. Note that most systems will not have them; it is rare random chance that a vendor will have this item.
It can also be purchased in the Space Anomaly, in the ship upgrade area.
Crafting
Economy Scanner can be built using a blueprint and the following ingredients:
Microprocessor x5 + Wiring Loom x1 → Economy Scanner
Economy Scanner can be repaired using the following resources:
- Microprocessor x3

Economy Scanner can be dismantled after construction, returning the following resources:
How to use
Buy and Sell values
System economies can be sorted by economy type and by galactic average trade values.
The Sell and Buy percentages for a system correspond to the variation of the trade items' buying and selling prices compared to the galactic average. These two percentages can be displayed in the infobox for a system page in this wiki, and will show as E-Buy and E-Sell.
The scanner can also be used to locate Trading Posts while in the starship. Simply bring up the in-flight menu and use the economy scanner (located within Utilities) to immediately locate a trading station on a nearby planet.
Additional information
- Higher economy means there is a much higher chance that you may find a S-class ship.
