The Use of Sensors By Aliens in Full Thrust
How I currently view sensors:
Standard: range 60" (Civilian ships do not have passive sensors.)
Enhanced: range 120"
Superior: range 240"
eXtended: range 480" (one of my alien races)
Stealth: cost = two times mass. (May be reduced to one times mass
by design considerations) reduces sensor range
by fifty percent.
The Kra'Vak: the Kra'Vak use standard sensors at the present
time. The railguns are larger, better directed
(tighter pattern) scatterguns. The Kra'Vak do
not have a need or desire to develop higher
class sensors. (They are REALLY mean?)
Humanity: Retaining the edge in sensor development
(Superior) we find the NAC, FCT (Free Cal-Tex),
and the NSL. Enhanced sensors are used by FSE,
and Dutch. The remainimg powers use standard
active and passive arrays: ESU, IF, LLAR, AND RH.
(NOTE: any power not mentioned should be
considered for inclusion based upon the current
political situation.)
Sha'vasku: They do their thing, however they do it.
Cthar: Have built in limitations on range,
Presumably the short range (25") equals standard
medium range (50") is enhanced, and long (75")
is superior.
Sensor Suggestions: the Enhanced and Superior grade sensors
have a plus one modifier on sensor
information gathering and give a plus one
to PDAF, ADAF, and 'C' beams used in the
anti-fighter and anti-missile mode.
(the X-sensors are plus two.)
By for now,
