The maximum power demand on the large ships and stations for the Laser Antenna is alot higher compared to the antenna. Unlike the Antennathe Laser Antenna does not broadcast its location. The Laser Antenna can also relay the signal of other antennae within its range as long as another Antenna or Laser Antenna are present within the same system. Players, Ships, Stations and Asteroid present in the direction of two Laser Antenna facing each other will disrupt the communication until the path is cleared. However, as the name would suggest, Laser Antennae must have a clear line of sight between them and has unlimited range this allows secret communications between Earth and the Moon, for example, which are approximately km apart on Easy Start Earth. Construction Component.The Laser Antenna is a block capable of establishing a communication link between two units. Placement The Ore Detector requires 1x1x2 blocks of space. Please note that the maximum range often needs to be adjusted in the control panel. The range of the Ore Detector does not stack, just overlaps. If installed on a Large Ship or Stationthe range is meters. Fits small ship Mass: If installed on a Small Shipthe range is 50 meters. Sign In Don't have an account? Start a Wiki. The cylindrical half of the detector does not attach to blocks. It will attach to other blocks on all faces of its cube-shaped base. The Ore Detector requires 1x1x2 blocks of space. Some times when powered down will need an ore to be mined to restart the Ore Detector. When attached to a ship and supplied with power, it will display up to 5 ore locations on the player's HUD when they are within range exactly like the Hand Drill does, but with much greater range. The Ore Detector is a block in Space Engineers.
