Sensor

This section has details missing or obscure mechanics that need clarification by Haxus. Description: Calculations for new spacecraft volume to sensor range is needed. If you know the answer, please edit this page or state it on the talk page!

Module

Sensor

Sensors are used to detect objects beyond visual range and assisting other systems with targeting. Such as detecting spacecraft on the other side of a solar system or targeting of weapon bays and other systems.

Sensor Size

Each sensor unit increases the range which a spacecraft can detect contacts by about 6km. The sensor station has about 6km range as well.

Useful Numbers

• 3-5 million meter range is generally enough to cover an entire single star system
• 7-8 million meter range is generally enough to cover an entire binary star systems
• 12-14 million meter range is generally enough to cover an entire trinary systems

System Survey

When crew is ordered to do a system survey, the time required to do so will depend on the number of celestial bodies in the solar system, the range category of the sensors, and the rank of the sensor station operator.

An avatar can survey a solar system instantly by using the sensor console to display the detail of any celestial body in the solar system.

Sensor Range Categories

Category	Range Required	Remark
Short Range	12,954m	Less than one lunar orbit
Orbital Range	12,954m	More than one lunar orbit
Planetary Range	91,449m	More than 1/2 planetary orbit
System Range	2,743,200m	More than 15 planetary orbits
