This section has details missing or obscure mechanics that need clarification by Haxus. Description: Calculations for spacecraft volume to sensor range is needed. Also need confirmation about city sensor range. If you know the answer, please edit this page or state it on the talk page! |
Sensor |
---|
Sensors are used to detect objects beyond visual range and assisting other systems with targeting. This can include detecting spacecraft on the other side of a solar system or targeting of weapon bays and other systems.
Sensor Size
Amount of volume dedicated to sensors increases the sensor range which a spacecraft can detect contacts.
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.
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 |
Avatar Manual Survey
An avatar can survey a solar system instantly, no matter the senor range, by using the green sensor button at the top right of the sensor console.
