Questions Not Worth Their Own Thread: C# Edition

What is the range of the active sensor on the STOs and is it resolution-1?

Do you see an active, rather than thermal, contact before the missiles hit?

Also, is the race firing the missiles designated as hostile (red contacts) ?

I'm obviously missing something.
Because it is news to me that you can see active sensor range & resolution for STO elements.

I think / assume it was from an active sensor. I clicked "Active on" for the formations in question.
And even had a Deep space tracking station on the body.

Yes the race is designated as hostile.

You can view the sensor range of an STO unit in the Formation Templates screen; it'll list the maximum sensor range, sensor range vs. missiles, and maximum fire control range.

Duranium  54    Vendarite  48.48    Uridium  8.5

This seems correct to me.

When using missiles with Laser warheads for planetary bombardment, do they generate radiation and dust like regular nukes?

Or do they generate reduced amounts of environmental damage, like regular Lasers?

They should act as lasers. If there is radiation, it would be a bug. There are a couple of fixes to laser warheads for v2.5.1.

Thanks!

We have a crapload of STO to kill and we don't want to damage the planet too much.

Speaking of laser warheads: in the increment in which they detonate and fire (at a ship), are they included as part of "the total MSP of inbound missiles targeted on the ship" for the purposes of triggering decoy missiles?
