2025 updates

When you go to Turns->Received->Scans the nexus should process all your turns and extract all the scans of positions that are found in them.

On the left bar you have all the systems where you have scans - above that you can chose to:

<data>
<ready>true</ready>
<loc_list>
<location loc_type="System" system_id="146" quad="3" ring="13">
<scan type="OUTPOST" aff="XXX" name="" pos_id="19570" description="{0-0} 1 kMus" day="5724" scanner_id="1234" add_info="" sensor_rating="59"/>
</location>
</loc_list>
</data>
