Active Sensors Not Activating/Providing Targetable Contacts?

[Kytuzian (OP)]

I have a number of active sensors turned on for my ships, yet I see no contacts when I attempt to assign targets to my fire controls (and I did uncheck the "Show Hostile Contacts Only" box). Additionally, when I switch views to the other race, I cannot see that I have activated the active sensors on my ships.

Any thoughts?

Your fire control's resolution may be too high.  If the contacts tonnage is less than your fire control resolution, the range at which your fire control can target the contact is reduced

Have you advanced time after enabling the sensors?

Seems like youve gotta advance a 5 sec for the sensors to actually come on.

I've actually advanced severals days just to make sure.

The FC's resolutions aren't too high, they have a resolution of 10 and the alien ships are all larger than 2900 tons. Even when I advance some time and get closer, I still can't target them, even when they are in range of my resolution 1 active sensor. However, once I get almost right on top of them, about a million km away, then I can target them.

What type of fire control did you try to target them with?

[Kytuzian (OP)]

Whoops...I figured it out. It looked like they were within range of my FCs on the screen, turns out they were actually a couple million km outside the range. I feel kind of silly now.

As a side note, the MFC's resolution was also 10.
