- And the Kitchen Sink, Too!: The C/S20 Comm-Scan Package covers nearly every communications and scanning need a starship could have with a wide number of frequency and detection ranges.
- Superb Scanning: The C/S20 sensor array can cover everything a starship needs from hull-based proximity detection to long-range, penetrative scans in multiple spectrums.
- High-End Comms: The C/S20 comms array comes with a wide range of advanced communications equipment which increases the range and quality of transmissions in both subspace and hyperspace.
- Passive Scan Mode: The C/S20 Package can enter a low-feedback passive scan mode, allowing it to run full-spectrum scans without being detected by other scanning systems.
- Two Birds, One Stone: Like with most all-in-one Captain's Choice component bundles, if one side of the comm/scan package is scrambled or damaged, it can impact the other connected system as well.
- Sensor-y Overload: Only a basic number of external and proximity scanners are running passively, so more in-depth and detailed scans need the user to manually check across all sensor spectrums.
- Chatterbox: The comms array only has a few basic security and encoding measures installed, which makes it easy to get your transmissions tracked or sliced.
- Under Your Own Radar: The low-feedback passive scan mode lowers the sensitivity and range of the scanner array, and does nothing to conceal or encode the comms array.
Another fantastic offering from the folks at Captain's Choice, the CC-C/S20 Comm-Scan Package is an all-inclusive hardware and software package designed for starships to provide a full range of communications and sensory equipment. The basic comms program covers the both subspace and hyperspace transmissions with high-definition audio, visual, and holographics. Additional boosters increase the range of these systems beyond common market arrays, while a backup comm-laser can be used for untraceable short-range messaging. However, the sensor package is perhaps the real star of the C/S20 as it covers a staggering range of spectrums and ranges both to keep track of local space and analyze targets. This sensor information can connect to the advanced targeting system to increase the efficiency and accuracy of weapons within scanner range. But the crowning jewel of the scanning system is the passive sensor array, which allows the scanners to run without being detected by other scanner systems.
Of course, all of these advanced systems are not without drawbacks, first and foremost being that tying the comm and sensor systems together means that they can easily be baffled or taken out simultaneously. At the same time, neither system is infallible, as the comms array is short on encryption or slicing protections while the layered sensor array requires manual input to cycle through scan types and get a full look at what is going on around the ship. The passive sensor array only makes this worse, as it reduces the range and sensitivity of the standard array in order to stay below the detectable range. Still, the C/S20 is an advanced all-in-one comm-scan package designed to provide Captain's Choice customers with everything they need to stay informed and connected in the modern galaxy.
