Sensor Formula for size 6 Missiles off?
« on: August 25, 2016, 06:37:00 PM »
So I made my own furmula for detection ranges and used the math from the wiki. And I am aware that 1 MSP is 2.5 tons is 0.05 HS.

My tech is:
Sensor Strength : 28
Size: 50 tons or 1HS
Em Sensitivity: 11
Resolution: 50 tons or 1
putting it into my formula I get:           create Tech (in game) tells me:

Size 6 (or smaller):    277,200 km  ?      335,412 km
Size 8:                       492,800 km  =     492,800 km
Size 12:                  1,108,800 km  =  1.108,800 km
1 HS:                      3,080,000 km  =  3.080,000 km

The only msp I get 335,412 km as a result is 6.6
So is my formula off? Or does Aurora4X treat Size 6 (or smaller) missiles as 6.6 in Size? And what happens with detection ranges for missiles between 6.1 and 7.9 MSP?

It bugs me  ???

Given that EM tech affects sensor ranges, and that your firmula is of by 10%, I'd say that's your problem right there.

I thought this too. But this applies also to tech with 80% sensitivity.
