If you mean the MT sensors, they're ignored. It's not as if they do
much, and I was trying to model B5 Wars ELINT at the time, and FCS
are already closest to what was needed to do that.

Not knowing anything about capability of historical radar sets, I
couldn't tell you. I think EA sensors gave -2" effective range for
each level though, Centauri -3" and Minbari -4".

Since base FT doesn't have tech levels though, such questions probably
aren't that important.
