Hello @Dale Christopher.

I have moved your topic to Breaking Ground Support.

I just tested this in my stock install. What I see is that the large scanning arm uses about 26ec per second and uses about 500ec all up. The only thing I can think of is that you may have a locked 200ec battery (or two 100's) on your vessel.

[Edit] You should also check pods/probe cores for locked charge.

Hmm, how I’m reading this is that you need the equivalent amount of power for the full scan in storage capacity to begin the scan, but if you have less overall storage it won’t start even if you can cover it with real-time power generation... this seems like a bug?

I confirm this. I disabled the batteries on my rover leaving 100ec. The scan refused to start.
