Where are ALL the Industrial Scanners? Spoilers pleeeez

Funily enough, you should get some so long as you clear DR X's lab.

Mission Failed

Science Vessel's shield was too tough.

I used lascannon and avalanche with 3 nightmares, but no damage.

Wiki says Avalanche is most powerful missile... but No use to Science Vessel.

Yeah, Avalanche isn't worth it.  It does good damage, but it's very limited on ammo and, like the other guy said, it has a tendency to whiff.  I prefer Medusas (for shields) and Hammermites at that stage.

Hi gals. I have some Questionsss

1. I can't shoot science Vessel down. I already have nightmare and avalanche missiles, but They never work... I also have medusas, but It's too weak to break shields. Any solutions for them?

The hard part's knocking out the shields.  Once you do that, you're golden.

3. Best armor in this game is harbinger? But It can't protect me from stargod...

It's really not that good.  It slows your gals down too much to be useful.  It's only good for carrying heavy stuff, like a Tornado Rocket Mortar.

But other than my Designated Artillery Support gal, all mine use either Assault Marine or Annihilator armor

4. Gals can't be immune from Stargod's MC? It's too powerful and Stargods are toooo many. I have to make a team of Syn or another soulutions?

Honestly, the Ben and Lewis Strategy is the best way to deal with MC.  The AI almost always goes for the lowest VooDOo defense on your squad, so bring one or two low-VooDoo sponges to absorb the MC if you're expecting Star Gods.

For Melee, look up what it takes to unlock the Vibro-Sword.  It does a bit less damage , but it ignores 30% armor, whereas the Fuso sword is hindered by armor.  It's also a one-handed weapon so you could use a pistol as well.

Alternatively, you could farm Academy Espers for Medical Slicers.  It does laser damage.

So, uh, what's the deal with Hovertanks?  It's not letting me load them onto my vessels.

Version J15, BTW, because I'm paranoid about updating in the middle of a save

Edit:  Nevermind, I figured it out.  Just needed to read the Bootypedia page and it explained everything

Is there anything you can do if the last enemy on the map spawns in an unreachable location?  Had a Techromancer Tomb mission where it went to Bug Hunt mode and I couldn't get to the last enemy.

Thanks to you both for the help.

For those in the future who can't find them, they're on Science Vessels.

I brute forced the tech by buying Academy Scientists, but I have no clue where to find the actual item.  I can't manufacture my own, because they need the Printer facility, which I can't make until I have 3 scanners.

Seriously, who do I have to rob to find a Scanner?
