A) The defending squadron stays fairly close to the object it is
defending
(which makes tactical sense, otherwise you find out that you're
defending
against a feint and you're waaaay out here.  Meanwhile, back at the
ranch...)
B) I assume that sensor range means "range at which you can achieve a
firm
firing solution."  You might double it again, or more, to get the
maximum
"there's something out there, don't know exactly what, captain, but I'm
picking up traces" range.
