-The signature radius is, for all intents and purposes, how "big" a ship appears on sensors. Whilst a ship's signature is generally related to its size (a frigate is smaller and has a smaller signature radius than a battleship), this is not necessarily true for all situations. In particular, Tech II ships can have a very different radii from their Tech I counterparts.
+The signature radius is, for all intents and purposes, how "big" a ship appears on sensors. A ship's signature is generally related to its size (a frigate is smaller and has a smaller signature radius than a battleship), and while all ships of a certain size tend to have similar signature radii, there are three ship classes with notably smaller signature radii than their peers:
+* [[Cruiser#Logistics|Logistics cruisers]] (Tech 2)
+* [[Battlecruiser#T1_Battlecruisers|Attack battlecruisers]] (also called "tier 3 battlecruisers").
+* [[Blockade Runner]]s (Tech 2)
-Example:
+As a rough guide:
-* Tech I, Osprey, size: 348m, signature radius: 125m
-* Tech II, Basilisk, size: 348m, signature radius 90m

 Signature radius affects many things, notably:
