Crusader Mercury Q&A

[Astrus]

Here is a link to the Q&A

Great stuff.

One of the more noteworthy points is there is an official differentiation between what ships like the Terrapin do as a "scanning" ship and what ships like the Mercury and Herald do.

Also,  "An example of legal data collection in PvE would be a mission along the lines of scanning a certain location for information, such as asteroid composition/density. Alternatively, you may recieve a mission to find specific player owned ships & their locations, which will need to be reported back the mission giver. Illegal data collection would be something more along the lines of intercepting sensitive information between two ships for PvE or intercepting and beating another player to delivery on an existing data running mission. " - CIG

Thats cool.

Ok I may be spending more time in the Herald than originally anticipated.
