Elite: Dangerous Horizons - What does the Data Link Scanner (on SRV) do to turrets?
I used the Data Link Scanner on a hostile settlement turret, and the interface implied it was doing something, but there was no effect I could observe. Obviously deactivating turrets with the DLS instead of shooting them would be overpowered, and yet it's possible to target and scan them. There's no mention of using it on turrets anywhere online - or am I a bit slow, and it's just possible to scan anything you can target (with no effect)?

How do I scan with turret SRV?
When using it, first toggle into the Turret UI view, aim the turret at the data point/target and then initiate the scan. Alternatively, the scan may be initiated from the cockpit without entering turret mode, but it must be linked to a Fire Group in the right panel of the SRV HUD.How does the SRV scanner work?
When the SRV is facing a point of interest, the wave scanner displays the signal received from it in a band which narrows as the SRV approaches the object. The signal is also converted to audio which can be used to estimate the position of the SRV relative to the POI.What does the discovery scanner do elite dangerous?
