Scanner Angle. Help.

Ok

I'm doing the "lightweight sensor" mod at Farseer. It says it reduces my scanner angle. I don't really get what that means.

I always assumed my sensors had a full view in all directions, like a big sphere around my ship, am i wrong? And is that the angle that gets reduced?

Does the modification apply in SC or normal space or both?

I got a 54% mass reduction but a 17% angle reduction, is that a good roll?

Will i notice the 17% angle reduction in a fight?

Thanks in advance for any help.

😊

It effects the angle from which you get detailed information from a target. So basically with a decreased angle you will need to get the target more mid ship.

An example: If your scanner could previously scan in a 60-degree wide cone (30 degrees radius from your front), and you get a lightweight upgrade which reduces this by 20%, this means you'll scan targets in a 48-degree wide cone instead (60 * 0,8 = 48). A slight difference.

If you're using the Detailed Surface Scanner, you need to have the target more in the centre of the screen if you have a narrower angle. etc.
