The signature radius is, all intents and purposes how "big" on somebody else sensors. While ship size and signature radius general correspond (a frigate is smaller and has a smaller signature radius then a battleship), this is not necessarily true for all situations. In particular Tech II ships can have a very different signature size, even if they use the same hull size as their Tech I counterpart. | The signature radius is, all intents and purposes how "big" on somebody else sensors.
