Change to GPD and EM sensors
« on: December 26, 2007, 05:56:57 AM »
I have removed GPD sensors from version 2.5 and changed EM sensors to include the GPD detection capability. This is because in modern warfare EM (ESM) sensors fulfil the role of GPD sensors in Aurora and having EM sensors in Aurora that fulfil a different role was causing some confusion. Therefore there are now three sensors types that have the following capabilities:

Active: Detects ships based on their TCS (Target Cross-section) value.
Thermal: Detects ships based on their TH (engine signature) value and detects populations based on their Thermal signature
EM: Detects shield strength, the emissions of alien active sensors based on their GPS value and populations based on their EM signature
