    Phil suggested:
    
	Navigation Sensor operated by civilian ships modify the 1D6 roll
by -2
	Standard Basic Military sensors modify the 1D6 roll by 0.
	Fighter Enhanced sensors modify the 1D6 roll by +1.  This is a
dedicated platform like an E-2C, etc.
		They cost 5 each
	Enhanced Military sensors modify the 1D6 roll by +2.
	Superior Military sensors modify the 1D6 roll by +4.
     
	Modifiers:
	-1 per 12 Measuring Unit (MU) between target and observer.
	-1 per 5% of mass devoted to stealth by the observer.
	-2 per ECM unit effectively jamming the observer.  Note: 
Observer automatically gets a line of Bearing towards the jamming unit.
	Mass of the target:
	     0 to 10: -1
	    11 to 25: 0
	    26 to 50: +1
	    51 to 100: +2
	    +1 per 50 mass after 100.
	+1 per thrust factor of target unit.  Note: only applies to
passive detection of engines on ship and subject to modifications noted
above.
	+ 6 to passive detection of active sensor or ECM in use on
target.
     
    Roll	Passive Sensor		    Active Sensor
    3		 Loose LOB		      Bogey
    4		 LOB				  Track
    6		 System ID/Mass 	   Mass
    8		 Bogey				  ID
    
    
    >>Detection range for passive systems is too short.  It is entirely
possible for an unstealthed Mass 100 ship (with no thrust, or thrust 2
if it's coming at you) to get within 6" of a passive civilian ship--or
an asteroid of the same size could do the same--without being detected
at all.  No LLOB, nothing.  Work out the ranges and see where your
detection thresholds are.  Might want to make it "-1 per 12" starting at
36"" or thereabouts.
