Currently, the detection of mineable rocks and other items is tied to specific radars and scanners, so any ship with these equipped will be able to detect them. In the future we plan to experiment with enabling all scanners to do this, with dedicated scanners having better range or sensitivity.\n\n\nWhat level of exploration capacity does the C8X have? Should we expect it to be on par at finding things with the Origin 315p, or is it mostly for very short-range use? Is the exploration capacity the same between the two variants?\nThe Pisces is designed for much shorter duration expeditions than the 315p due to the lack of onboard facilities, such as a bed and toilet.

Urspr\u00fcnglich wurden die Fische f\u00fcr den Einsatz in Reichweite des Carracks konzipiert, so dass sie keine explorations-spezifischen Elemente ben\u00f6tigten, da sie die Radardaten des Mutterschiffes austauschen konnten.\n\n\nWerden die Fische in der Lage sein, abbaubare Gesteine zu erkennen oder andere Dinge, die ein Erkundungsshuttle erkennen sollte?\nStandardm\u00e4\u00dfig k\u00f6nnen die Fische keine abbaubaren Steine erkennen, aber die Scanner k\u00f6nnen daf\u00fcr aufger\u00fcstet werden. Derzeit ist die Erkennung von abbaubaren Gesteinen und anderen Gegenst\u00e4nden an bestimmte Radare und Scanner gebunden, so dass jedes Schiff mit diesen Ger\u00e4ten in der Lage sein wird, sie zu erkennen. In Zukunft planen wir, damit zu experimentieren, dass alle Scanner dies tun k\u00f6nnen, mit speziellen Scannern mit besserer Reichweite oder Empfindlichkeit.\n\n\nWie hoch ist die Explorationskapazit\u00e4t der C8X? Sollten wir erwarten, dass es bei der Suche nach Dingen mit dem Origin 315p auf Augenh\u00f6he ist, oder ist es meist f\u00fcr den sehr kurzfristigen Einsatz gedacht? Ist die Erkundungskapazit\u00e4t zwischen den beiden Varianten gleich?\nDie Fische sind f\u00fcr viel k\u00fcrzere Expeditionen als die 315p konzipiert, da es an Einrichtungen an Bord wie Bett und Toilette mangelt. Historisch gesehen operierte sie au\u00dferhalb des Carrack, so dass diese nicht ben\u00f6tigt wurden, da die Besatzung auf das Mutterschiff zur\u00fcckkehren w\u00fcrde. Die Erkundungsf\u00e4higkeit zwischen den C8 Fische und C8X Fische Expedition ist identisch.\n\n\nWenn Whitley's Guide dar\u00fcber spricht, dass die Fische einen'umbaubaren Kabinenraum' haben,\nWas meinst du damit? Werden die Fische mehr Varianten\/Anpassungsoptionen f\u00fcr den Innenraum haben, wie z.B. medizinische Einrichtungen, Betten, mehr Laderaum?\n\nDie Referenz f\u00fcr den konvertierbaren Kabinenraum war ein Platzhaltertext aus einer fr\u00fcheren Innenrevision des Schiffes, bei der die Sprungsitze auf den Laderaum auftraten. Dies ist nicht mehr der Fall und wurde von der Website entfernt.\n\n\nWerden beide Fischmodelle in der Lage sein, ein Bett auszustatten und das Ladegitter zu opfern?\nEs gibt derzeit keine Pl\u00e4ne, zus\u00e4tzliche Innenausstattungen zu erm\u00f6glichen oder neue Varianten der Fische auf den Markt zu bringen.\n\n\nWird der C8X Pisces Expedition mit einem Jump Drive ausgeliefert, und k\u00f6nnen die normalen C8 Pisces einen Jump Drive ausstatten?\nKeine der beiden Varianten ist standardm\u00e4\u00dfig mit einem Sprungmodul (dem Ger\u00e4t, das an einem Quantenantrieb befestigt wird, um einen Sprungantrieb zu bilden) ausgestattet. Beide k\u00f6nnen jedoch mit einem ausgestattet werden.\n\n\nEine n\u00fctzliche Funktion f\u00fcr ein Ausw\u00e4rtsschiff w\u00e4re ein Autopilot, der es zur\u00fcck zum Carrack schicken und abrufen kann. Gibt es Pl\u00e4ne f\u00fcr so etwas?\nDies ist ein oft nachgefragtes Feature, und obwohl wir nicht planen, es bald zu implementieren, pr\u00fcfen wir es im weiteren Verlauf zur \u00dcberpr\u00fcfung.\n\n\nWerden die Fische Scheinwerfer bekommen?\nJa, das war ein Problem in Alpha 3.7.2, das f\u00fcr Alpha 3.8 behoben wurde.\n\n\nWird es einen Waffenst\u00e4nder geben, der Schusswaffen gr\u00f6\u00dfer als eine Pistole aufnehmen kann?\n\nEs ist derzeit nicht geplant, die Fische mit zus\u00e4tzlichen Innenausstattungen zu versehen.\n\n\nWird es m\u00f6glich sein, die Wasserstoff- und QT-Kraftstofftanks der Fische vom Carrack aus zu betanken, wenn er sich in der Aufh\u00e4ngevorrichtung befindet?\nJa, die Carrack (und andere Schiffe mit eigenen Hangars) werden in der Lage sein, Schiffe, die in ihnen korrekt gelandet sind, aus ihren eigenen Kraftstoffreserven zu betanken.\n\n\nWerden die Fische eine lebenserhaltende Komponente erhalten und k\u00f6nnen sie eine Atmosph\u00e4re im Inneren aufbauen?\nJa. Wie bei allen anderen Schiffen mit Innenr\u00e4umen wird es ein lebenserhaltendes Element geben, um die Atmosph\u00e4re im Inneren des Schiffes wiederherzustellen.\n\n\nWerden die Fische gut gepanzert sein, um meine Carrack-Crew sicher an Orte und Wurml\u00f6cher zu bringen?\nEs ist zwar nicht das am st\u00e4rksten gepanzerte Schiff, da erwartet wird, dass es f\u00fcr die Erkundung in feindlichen Umgebungen eingesetzt wird, aber es ist widerstandsf\u00e4higer als andere Schiffe seiner Gr\u00f6\u00dfe.\n\n\nWird es einen Upgrade-Pfad von den C8-Fischen des Carrack geben, um die beiden zus\u00e4tzlichen Waffenh\u00e4rtepunkte hinzuzuf\u00fcgen?\nAbgesehen von einigen wenigen limitierten Schiffen und Varianten k\u00f6nnen alle Fahrzeuge im Spiel einzeln erworben werden.\n\n\nWerden die Fische auf dem Wasser schwimmen?\n\nEs ist nicht vorgesehen, dass die Fische aufgrund ihres Gewichts und ihrer Konstruktion auf dem Wasser schwimmen k\u00f6nnen.\n\n\nK\u00f6nnen die Fische vom Carrack aus in einem Sprungtunnel eingesetzt werden, um alternative Wege zu erkunden?\nDies wird nicht empfohlen, da der Jump Drive selbst dazu beitr\u00e4gt, den Ein- und Ausgang des Tunnels zu stabilisieren. Der Start eines Schiffes w\u00e4hrend des Transits wird wahrscheinlich nicht f\u00fcr alle Beteiligten gut ausgehen.","zh_CN":"Q&A: Anvil Pisces\n\nFollowing the reveal of the Pisces from Anvil Aerospace, we took your community-voted questions to our designers to provide you with more information on the recently unveiled mini-explorer.\n\n\nDoes the Pisces have special scanners or just a generic one like any non-exploratory ship?\nThe Pisces comes equipped with a regular radar and scanner that can be upgraded and changed.
