That could be a transponder detection range.

« on: December 20, 2013, 06:29:39 PM »I understand the formula for calculating the detection range of a passive sensor against a given emission strength, but I get conflicting displays on the system map.
I have a DSTS array rated at 3600. Against an emission strength 220 object, it should have a maximum detection range of 3600*220 / 1000 = 792 Mkm, and there is indeed a blue ring at that distance. However, there is also another ring displayed way way out there, at a radius of ~19. 2 Bkm. What does this second ring mean? The arithmetic suggests that it indicates the detection range against an emission 5333 object, but why is it there?
