-====== Scanning phase: Planet Scans ======
+====== Scanning phase: Planetary Scans ======
 During the Scanning phase, while your Pilot try to keep your ship safe and to reach the nearby Planet, you can order your Scan officer to scan your destination. Scanning the Planet allows to identify its characteristics like its size, climate, and temperature. Different type of Scans are available, depending on the technology available on your ship.
-Your Scan officer skills will determine the speed and and the completeness of each scan.  Her/his Signals & Radar (SRT) and Spaceships ranks will determine how fast the scan report will be generated. The precision and completeness of the report will be determine by a different set of skills, depending on the type of Scans selected.

-===== PRIMSCAN =====
+  * Scan duration = Base time - [ (SRT + Spaceships) / 2 ]
-**Require**: Scanner module
+The precision and completeness of the report will be determined by a different set of skills, depending on the type of Scans selected.
+===== Scanning tests =====
-PRIMSCAN is used in order to identify potential landing sites as well as general information regarding the planet. It requires Signals & Radar (SRT) as Primary skill, and Piloting, Planetary Expertise, Awareness as Secondary skills.
+During the Scan, the Scan officer will make a [[system-skill-test|test]] for each Planetary feature matching the range of the selected Scan. //For example, in case of  PRIMSCAN, the Scan officer will make a test for the basic landscape, the number of regions, and for the landing sites.//
-===== CFR =====
+Each Planetary feature has a specific difficulty to be detected. These difficulties can be Easy (30), Normal (50), Hard (80) or Elite (120). <wrap em>Note: In the current Alpha version there are no Elite hidden features.</wrap> Specific elements, like a specific lifeforms, or a specific landing site, may have an individual difficulty higher than the Planet standard difficulty for this feature. //For example, in the case of PRIMSCAN, some landing sites may be more difficult to detect than others.//
-**Require**: Scanner module
-CFR is used in order to identify the Research potential of the Planet, as well as the potential lifeforms. It requires Science as Primary skill, and Open Mindness, Planetary Expertise, SRT as Secondary skills.
