On the Contacts tab of the Tactical map, there is a checkbox for "Distances."
When this checkbox is checked, the text for each alien contact on the map has a distance at the end.
What is this distance? The distance to what?
I would have thought it was the distance from the (closest?) ship of mine that has that contact on its sensors, but that does not seem to be the case.
Right now, in the Cerberus system, I have three contacts at Cerberus-A IV.
All of those contacts show a "distance" of 95m.
The distance to my scanning fleet is 51mkm.
The distance to my intel ship (which is parked over the star in the center of the system) is 88mkm.
Interestingly, the distance displayed for the contacts always matches the distance from Cerberus-A IV to Cerberus-A I.
Perhaps the distance intended to be displayed is the distance to my intel ship, but a bug is ocurring because my intel ship is inside the orbit of the closest planet to the star?
