Increased Long Range Scanner

Increases the scan range and speed of the long range scanner mode.  Default is 10x Max Range, 200km->2000km;  speed is 1. 2x,  this means scans take 67s to complete (they'll probably find everything in sector before hitting max range though) .  Setting the speed higher than this causes instability (crashes) in extremely dense sectors (only crash reports came from 'Nopileo's Fortune II').  Easy edits can be made to change detection radius, they're left vanilla by default;  see 'Editing' section below if you wish to edit this or any of the other values.

Optional Files:

1) Increased Lockbox Detection Range:  this will make any lockboxes within 200km of you show up on your map as an unknown object when scanned.  Most lockboxes spawn in on demand (this is the vanilla behaviour), so its rare for them to exist farther than 200km from the player.

2) Increased Special Duration:  this will increase the length of the purple, "special", pings to 40s from vanilla 20s.  Special pings are used for datavaults and wormholes.  If you'd like to increase the duration further, it's an easy edit and there are directions within the 'effects.xml' file

If you want to have the effects of one or both optional files without the main mod then:

-install mod with optional files

-delete 'libraries\parameters.xml'

-The game can provide false positive pings on the long range scanner, not sure if bug or feature, the increased scanner range will also increase the frequency of these false positives.

-While the mod works great for detecting the location of objects like stations/gates, other items like datavaults have a limited detection range that I haven't been able to change.  For datavaults the detection range appears to be 140km (which is less than even the default scanner range of 200km D= )

-The mod is compatible with the 'Unique Datavault Pings' mod, however the optional ping duration increase will not effect the new datavault pings, although that mod also increases their duration to 40s.

v1. 3. 5 Update:

-Added optional file.  Increased Special Duration, increases the ping duration of purple pings.

v1. 3 Update:

-reduced the speed on scans down to 30000m/s,  this is a LOT slower, especially on the 2000km version, but it was necessary to avoid crashes in extremely dense sectors (looking at you 'Nopileo's Fortune II').  This means that on the 2000km version the scan won't hit maxrange for 67s,  I was able to use SETA during this time without crashing in 'Nopileo's Fortune II' but your results may vary.  If you wish to play around the stability issue, you can follow the Editing instructions below or download the 1. 2 version.  Thank-you to those reported this issue, it would've taken me a long time to encounter this on my own.

v1. 2. 5 Update:

-Added an optional file.  If  used, increases the detection range for lockboxes.  Th
