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: | The signature radius is, for all intents and purposes, how "big" a ship appears on sensors.
