Sensor Systems

So, what exactly do better sensors do for your ship? I'm aware that they make your effective range longer and allow you to resolve lower heat targets easier--including silent running targets--but, at the same time, it feels like they improve gimball/turret tracking accuracy. That being said, I'm not entirely sure if I'm just making this up or if that's something they really do, as it's kind of a difficult thing to quantify without relevant documentation.

So, does anybody know what benefits they actually provide? I (and I'm sure other people) would like to know! I'm normally not somebody to selfishly advocate a developer response to a thread, but we might at some point need a guide that clearly states what each subsystem does and what effect it has on ships; I think it would help a lot of people out in regards to choosing an optimal setup for their vessel.
 
I don't know about the tracking, but better scanners also speed up the process of scanning unexplored astronomical objects.
