- Each Long Range Scanner boosts the crash chance for drop pods (up to 3 scanners).
- The Comm Console UI always shows if the protocol is active, how many scanners are linked, and the current crash percentage.
- If the protocol is active, a new one cannot be started until the next raid triggers.
- If all comm consoles are destroyed or lose power, the protocol is lost and must be reactivated.

Large update to the mod that fix many small things and clean up the code.
You may see red errors first time after using the update. try delete the comm console and rebuild it.
A few larger fixes, allies that join you in drop pods no longer triggers the jammer and crash.
There was a bug before where you never failed the ritual, it works now, so you will now fail sometimes.
