Science

The Science console is in charge of scanning and monitoring enemy ships throughout the sector.

Role
Science is in charge of:
 * Scanning unknown ships to determine their designation and shield power.
 * Scanning known ships a second time to determine their shield frequencies and other useful information.
 * Providing heading and distance of ships, stations, and more to aid the Helm station.
 * Providing a general idea of the sector, as the Main Screen may be dedicated to other things rather than viewing the Long Range Scanner.

Tips

 * ALWAYS BE SCANNING, and remember to scan twice!
 * Science's sensors are the only ones on the ship that can see inside nebulae.
 * When referring to ships, try to use their three character designation to refer to the ship, as well as the section of the sector they are in. Saying "Ship Q92 in section B3" is more helpful than "The big ship just north of us"
 * Sensor range is set before the mission begins. In missions where the range is limited, you may need to coordinate with Helm to get closer to targets to scan them.
 * Science's screen has a lot of information that is only useful to certain people at certain times. Understanding when that information needs to be given (and when to let more important info through first) is the mark of a great Science officer.
