Default [Lensman] Differences between 1st and 2nd editions?

Hi,
My search-fu is apparently not up to the task. Can someone point me to a link that describes the updates between the first (1993) and second (2001) editions of GURPS Lensman?
Thanks.

I don't think there are any significant differences.

Both are for GURPS Third Edition. GURPS Powers: Totem and Nature Spirits has an enhancement that mimics Sense of Perception.

There is also a version of Sense of Perception in GURPS Powers: Enhanced Senses.

Are you referring to Para-Radar Imaging?
I think that covers the Rigellians? pretty well that could see without eyes or ears but not some of the high level trivks done by others.
By the way, where is the Scanner enhancement defined? See Ultrascan p. 27.

No, I meant Mass Perception on p. 26.

There may have been some fixing of the recusively increasing costs of having ultra-high point Allies like Second-Stage Lensmen.

That's the only thing I can recall being mentioned though.
