Sensor Systems

Sensors are used by soacecraft and other vehicles to detect other entities in the area. Sensors can be active or passive and some units are capable of both. Active sensors, called Scanners focus on a single target or small area to analyze objects or detect particularly well hidden enemies. Passive scanners constantly pulse gathering data at a set refresh rate, scan resolutions can range from vague shapes to 3 dimensional readouts.

Radar
Favored for long range passive sensors, does not give high resolution.

Sonar
High resolution sensors that can only be used in atmospheres or gas clouds popular scanner for rock. 3d display available.

Magnetic
Favored scanner for millitary purposes as all spacecraft must have electrical systems, it can also detect brain function. 3d display available.

Gravitonic
Extremely advanced technology, 100% accurate in single scans and very sensitive in passive mode, low resolution.

Thermal
Sort range limits astronautical use but very handy on planets.

Network
AI managed sensors able to detect other ships connected to the local network, required for long range hacking.
