Re: Leaping Waters WIP
Here are done ideas for scanners. Each medium presented here is what the scanner uses to detect things.
In atmosphere.
Echolocation (sonar)
Pressure variations in response to movement
Chemical tagging (saturate an environment with a chemical, then continuously scan its flow, also works with radio wave communication nano bots).
Out of atmosphere (also works in atmosphere)
Infrared light (night vision)
Visible light (camera)
Ultraviolet light (laser scanners)
Microwaves
Magnetism
Electromagnetism
Radio waves (radar)
Radiation (alpha, beta, or gamma)(not environmentally friendly)
One of these should help you with your faction's scanner technology. This should make the more critical members happy.

Re: Leaping Waters WIP
They are simply the method that the scanners detect things. This list isn't complete and I left out technical descriptions to leave room for scifi details on part of the author. Author being anyone who wants to describe their scanner technology. It appears here because there seems to be a discussion about it. Hopefully it offers some help.

Re: Civilian Ship Thread (WIP)
Why not put these into the Delphinus Gulf thread? We definitely need all the civilians we can take.
