I may not have been clear. I thought YOUR sensor ranges were just
find. I thought the 54" and 36" ranges in FT2 are too short. In
particular, I don't like the ratio of active to passive. I think the
passive range is too long compared to the active range, and I think
the active range is too short. In last year's play by mail, there were
only about 2 turns of active sensor attempts before the ships were in
passive/beam range. I didn't think this was long enough.

By the way, it's "Allan" not "Allen."
