📋 About This Mod
Improves system scan range, planet scan speed and fuel efficiency in LE3.

]Improved System Scan Range and Planet Scanning Speed. - Increased Planet Scanning Speed.
The improved system scan range covers an entire system with a single right-click.
The increased planet scanning speed increases mouse speed by more than double and the planet's rotation speed is more than tripled. Mouse and planet rotation speed were also increased when not scanning. In similar mods I've used, the planet's rotation speed was neglected, this mod addresses that issue.
The improved fuel efficiency reduces fuel consumption by about half.
This mod does not make any changes to Reaper detection capabilities or speed.
