Please note that the Basic Scan Multiplier is a reference to how much each module is amplified when the corresponding artifacts are activated.
Note: When you add the 3 additive temporary buffs (Prejor Decrypted Data, Tachyon Cylinder, and Subspace Seeker) or the bonuses from the datastream compiler for being explorer or hacker, they are put in before the titanproxy effect and any other permanant percentage buff is applied. Make sure to use the additive buffs before you apply any percentage buffs, since temporary buffs are applied in the order they are listed in your Effects tab on your ship stats window. It should also be noted that when applying a temporary percentage buff (such as Continuum Beacon or the Stryll Seeker) they are applied in the following order:
Standard Scan + (# of TitanProxies*100) + Temporary percentage buffs + (# of TitanProxies*4%) = New Scan
