In other words, never bother with Tachyon Sensors. Gravitic Sensors are too expensive too if memory serves, as you will want to do some research in the Hyper Optic tech anyway (it gives you training, and that may be one of the most important things for your warships).
It's kinda what I thought. I just hope that SEV has a little better explanation of all the systems then SEIV has. It probably should be noted somewhere that all these systems perform the same actions toward seeing hidden (cloaked) ships. The way it reads now is that Tachyon sensors are the only ones that can see cloaked ships. Tachyon sensors are the expensive ones.
