Ver: 0.99.85.1
Desc: This does NOT apply to the Scout provided by CRUST in the storyline mode - this rover will be able to scan even when buying the scanner ability while inside the base.
For Scout Rovers purchased through the CRUST Solutions Transport tab and deposited inside the base, if the scanner ability is purchased with these aftermarket Scouts while still inside the base, the scan button will be disabled when they exit the base. Purchasing the scan ability with the Scout outside the base results in a working scan button.

Repro:
1 Load saved game.
2 Select Scout rover outside the base, and purchase via the "Rover - Geologist" tab/button. Observe that the Geologic Scan button becomes active and can be used to initiate a scan.
3 Select 1st Scout rover inside base, and purchase via the "Rover - Geologist" tab/button. Press the Leave button.
4 Select 2nd Scout rover inside base, and purchase via the "Rover - Geologist" tab/button. Press the Leave button.
5 Change view to outside the base.
6 Find/Select the Scout labeled "Gifted by CRUST". Observe that the Geologic Scan button is active and can be used.
7 Find/Select the Scout labeled "Buy GeoScan while inside base". Observe that the Geologic Scan button is inactive.
