This issue has come up a few times in my campaigns. I'll call for a Computers check to "scan a planet" or "scan a ship" for more information, and I've had a few players say it should be a Perception check, rather than a Computers check. Another example would be using Perception to search for information within a computer database, rather than specifically use Computers.

Those are Computer checks. I'd be willing to bet any player groaning about it has a better dice pool in Perception.

Just my opinion though.

Exactly that.
