It seems to me we had a good healthy 'discussion' on this. I think the
point was that passive can look farther, but active is better at things
moderately close. Think of switching on a torch in the yard to have a
look
at something going bump in the night. Active is MUCH better. Now look at
the dot on the tower half a mile away. Switching the torch on and off
only
gives away your position. The diffused light has no useful effect over
the
distance. Inverse square law, and all that.

I don't think anyone made believers out of the other, but I figured the
PSB
was that over the relatively short spacial distances of unalloyed Full
Thrust, it's shooting in your own backyard.

Don't agree? It's rule-tweaking time!

Hmm...

I was about to say I was pretty sure Jerry typo'd; he already said that,
didn't he. ;->=
