The '''Pulse Wave Analyser''' is a mining scanner used to highlight asteroids that may be worth inspecting for core or deposit mining. It helps narrow the search, but a commander still has to inspect and prospect candidates before committing to extraction.

The Pulse Wave Analyser is a mining scanner used to highlight asteroids that may be worth inspecting for core or deposit mining. It helps narrow the search, but a commander still has to inspect and prospect candidates before committing to extraction.

Draft: This article is still a work in progress and may be incomplete. You can help improve it by adding or expanding its content.

Mining role

Mining role
Highlights asteroids with notable deposits, especially useful when searching for core candidates.

Notes
It narrows the search; it does not replace close inspection or prospecting.

The analyser is most closely associated with Core Mining, where commanders search for candidate core asteroids before confirming them with closer inspection and prospecting. It can also help with deposit-focused searches, but it does not replace a Prospector Limpet Controller or guarantee that the highlighted asteroid contains the desired commodity.
