Nuts to the programming that made planets a point contact.  =c)

I was thinking of the first 5-6 sections of the Trans-Newtonian Campaign fiction, where nuke silos on earth held by different nations needed the other to fire first before they could see it/target it.

Actually, at this point I only have the thermal contact, and -can't- target them, I just know that they're there.

They detected the silo's because they are at range zero.  Coming from farther out makes it much harder to spot the pdc's, and you may need to wait untill they fire to see them, you may be able to spot them from farther out.  It all depends on the reletive techs, and ranges involved.

Hey, while reading the various fiction (mostly Trans-Newtonian, by Steve), I was always seeing mentions as to how they had to wait for the PDCs to fire before they found them.  Was this just an RP thing? As it stands, when starting two empires on the same planet, they immediately detect eachother's ICBM Silos.
