== Sensor Strength ==

Every ship has a sensor strength attribute. Larger ships generally have higher sensor strength than small ships. This attribute is used when calculating the chance of being jammed by an [[Electronic Counter Measure~~|ECM_Guide~~]] module. Knowing the type of sensors used by an opponent can help in determining which type of ECM jamming device to use.

== Scan Resolution ==

Line 21:

Every ship has a scan resolution attribute. This determines how quickly the ship can lock on to a particular target. A higher scan resolution means that the ship's sensors can target a ship faster. Larger ships tend to have a lower scan resolution, so it takes them longer to target other ships. The formula for determining the targeting time is:

Targeting time = 10000 ÷ Scan resolution × arcsinh ([[Signature Radius~~|Signature_radius~~]] of the target)

Targeting time = 10000 ÷ Scan resolution × arcsinh ([[Signature_radius|Signature Radius]] of the target)

For example, a [[Frigate]] can target a [[Battleship]]-sized ship in under a second, but a battleship will spend approximately 20 seconds targeting a frigate-sized ship. A ship's scan resolution can be increased by activating Sensor Boosters or Signal Amplifiers, and the signature radius of a ship can be increased by using a target painter on it.
