==Signature Resolution==

Every ship in Eve has a signature radius (you can find a figure for yours on the fitting screen). Signature radius represents, roughly speaking, a ship's footprint on everyone else's sensors. Here are some example signature radii: the Incursus (frigate) has a base sig radius of 44m, the Caracal (cruiser) a base sig radius of 145m, the Hurricane (battlecruiser) 240m ~~and~~ the Abaddon (battleship) 470m. Base signature radii can be altered by various things: shield extenders, for example, increase your sig radius, while an active MWD boosts your sig radius by 500%. Normally when Eve players just say 'signature' they mean 'signature radius'.

Base signature radii can be altered by various things: shield extenders, for example, increase your sig radius, while an active MWD boosts your sig radius by 500%. Normally when Eve players just say 'signature' they mean 'signature radius'.

All turrets have a figure for signature resolution in the Attributes tab of their show info window. Sig resolution indicates the size of target that the gun's designed to shoot, and represents, roughly speaking, the gun's ability to accurately aim at the target's sensor footprint.
