2-A) The simplest and most reliable method. This should be longer ranged than a similarly sized thermal sensor. While EM sensors have even longer ranges at detecting enemy active scanners, the AI tends to leave their active scanners off until they know you are within sensor range.Well tried them all ut anyway and i found that B is quite effective on even a mobiel target, i madea bouy that is around 100mkm range and when put in cover it is about size 60, the scout carry 3 of them and fire into enermypath form passive, enermy completely ignor the bouy and when i shut off my emgine they cant track my fleet anymore then they get bombard by my missle
2-B,C) This will only work if the enemy fleet is not moving.
2-D) Effective. More effective than A if you detect the enemy on passive sensors before they detect you, less effective than A if they find you first. The fighter or small ship must be able to light up the enemy while staying outside of enemy antimissile range or Bad Things will happen.
