So I was generating my survey ships in 4.82 and it turns out that the geological survey sensor is happy to be installed into a commercial design, while the gravitational survey sensor turns the same design into a military one.This is by design. The rationale is that gravitational sensors help you expand and search for aliens (and fight a war by finding new avenues of attack) while geological sensors are only useful within known space.
Is this by design, or a bug? I tried searching the boards but the search engine is not entirely helpful on such generic terms.
