ALLAN,
     I stand (well, actually sit) corrected, no offense intended!

I changed the ranges to simplify sensors and give a reason for 
people to buy the improved types. 

     Food for thought, if a ship is running with jammers or screens
on:
1) The energy output of both of those system would be very large.
2) Against the background of space it might well be possible
   for passive sensors to have a high chance to pick up these
   systems beyond the range of the active sensors.  
   (Screens in particular due to the limited frequency range 
    need to block a beam weapon.)

However, for game play I think you are doing the right thing.

Bye for now,
