I have a question on the difference between sensors & scanners. What does the long range scanners do that say Hyper Optic or Tachyon sensors cant.

Scanners can scan ships in adjacent sectors out to the ability limit of the component / level. Sensors only work in the immediate sector as the ship containing the sensor. <hr /></blockquote>Actually sensors have a range of the entire system, and cannot scan the inside of ships just reveal any cloaked ships (which long range scanners don't do)

Re: Hyper optics/Tachyon sensors

You're right, obviously - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

I always looked at 'em from this 'skewed' perspective and it's my own mis-wired brain taking over (too many cheap pharmaceuticals- http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif ).

And (obviously again) I was mistaken...

Re: Hyper optics/Tachyon sensors

Great news.
Now I don't need to put a sensor of each kind in my spy satellites.
