The hand drill has a native ore detection range of 20m. The base-installed ore detector has an altogether unimpressive 150m range.

From glancing at wikis, the small-craft seems to be 50m.

50m is well below a safe flying altitude, especially in mountainous terrain, is 50m really the furthest you can scan for ore in a small craft? It seems basically impossible to conduct any kind of wide-area search for ore deposits with such a paltry scanning range.

Can you increase ore detector range?

No there isn't. Although the large detector range does detect ore from about 220m. 500m would be too easy if you can just fly past asteroids and detect the ore in them.

How do you attach a large ore detector to a small ship?
