Manifest

from Expansion Manager's OXP list from Expansion Manifest
Description An upgrade to the IFF Scanner System to show asteroids, boulders and splinters in alternate colours for easier tracking when mining: Asteroids are white/gray, Boulders white/orange and Splinters white/green. With an optional tweak to the scanner, cargo pods and escape pods can be included as white/cyan and white/purple respectively. Updated by Milo to make the scanner upgrade equipment portable between ships, optimize status checks, change refund amount to full price as described (was coded as 10%), improve compatibility with OXPs that add cargo pods with non-standard names, improve compatibility with OXPs that manage ship equipment (e.g., Ship Storage Helper, Ship Configuration), and let other OXPs' IFF colour overrides take priority (Asteroid Storm, Rescue Stations, Curse of the Black Sunspot, etc.).
