SCANAREA

*===========================>>ANDROID SCAN<<===========================*
Androids are special compared to most races, in that they're
non-organic. This gives them certain characteristics that don't
apply at all to the average organic being. Firstly, they can neither
sense, nor can they be sensed by other players. This might seem
limiting, however the androids have the upper hand because they have
built-in scanners that allow them to perform a similar function to
sense. In addition to this, androids cannot be scanned, even by
fellow androids.

Syntax: 'scouter scan<area/planet>'

The scanarea command works similar to "sense area" for organics;
it scans the area you're in and tells you the powerlevels of the
characters around you.

Similarly, the scanplanet command is the android version of
"sense planet", and works like the "scanarea" command, only in this
case it scans the entire planet you're on instead of only scanning
the particular area you're in.

Androids can use 'scouter match <target>' to match the powerlevel
of an opponent they can scan and that is also below their base TL. They
cannot match 0 PL targets (like androids).

All of these functions are limited by the powerlevel of the android
performing the scan; they can only scan a certain PL above them!
This will vary depending on the android using the area/planet
command, and will the range will increase if the android is ranked.
