I sat there looking over the scans of these new (to me) planets and couldn't figure out why they lacked detail. Something was wrong with my sensors, but what? It wasn't until I went over my modules for a third time that I realized that I was missing a Detailed Surface Scanner. How was I missing my scanner, I know I bought one.It was about an hour later when it clicked. I didn't have enough room for the surface scanner and I wasn't paying attention during the fitting process. By my estimate, it was either replaced by the Advanced Discovery Scanner or the Fuel Scoop. In either case, no matter what replaced it, it was reason enough to table the current mission and head back to Wulpurna.
At this point, the Horizon Pathfinder has been refit for combat with a decent jump range. She's essentially a heavy scout that'll be used to hunt bounties and run missions for the Federation so I can build a proper exploration ship.
