The Sensor Dampening Battery cuts the target's [[scan resolution]] and targeting range in half. It has very low fitting requirements and can force an enemy to come closer to POS weapons instead of being able to sit at long range and snipe. Just like any other module that targets enemy ships, it must be mounted '''outside''' the POS bubble and can be attacked by enemy ships before the POS tower is destroyed. | The Sensor Dampening Battery cuts the target's [[scan resolution]] and targeting range in half.

There are two schools of thought with regards to Sensor Dampening Batteries. One is that they are completely unnecessary if you have faction ECM batteries with their 200km optimal + 100km falloff range. The other school of thought is that a few Sensor Dampening Batteries never hurt and could be used to good effect by POS gunners. Either way, you will generally not need more then a small handful (as few as 1-3, probably no more then 6) of these and your tower defenses will be fine without any at all (as long as you have ECM). | |||
