I'm afraid that I have to agree with this.  I've been deleting all the 
Sensor stuff, because it just involves too much extra calculation and
dice 
rolling.

If I were to do something for campaign purposes, I'd just abstract the
beam 
system -- Class Ones are civilian sensors, Class Twos are military,
Class 
Three are Spiffy Military.  Ranges are calculated by hexes, and dice are

rolled exactly as normal beam fire.  One point of "damage" gives a
partial 
reading, two or more points give a full reading.  Stealth could be 
purchased, and would work against sensors precisely the same way that 
screens work against beams.

And again: I agreen with Schoon: If you are within combat range, you are

well within minimum sensor range.
