So, I've noticed for a while (but never asked) that ships without sensors can still sense other ships by thermal signals (and colonies by EM signature as well, which are usually pretty large).IIRC every ship without any sensor has an inherent 0.5HS thermal sensor capability.
So... what good are adding passive sensors then? Are the "free" ones just really weak? What's the mechanic, here?
