Active Sensors/Fire Control
Description
An active sensor detects ships and missiles by their size.
An Active Sensor can detect ships at a range of
Sensor Stregth * Size * Sqrt[Resolution] * EM Sensitivity * 10,000km
An active sensor contact is necessary to open fire on a target. For smaller targets than the designed resolution the range is
Max Range * Resolution Target^2 / Resolution Designed^2
Missile Fire Controls are designed like active sensors, but are unable to detect targets and are used to control missiles.
Usage
Active Sensors are a necessity for any fleet. They are needed to target hostiles, and to detect incoming missiles. Design considerations are discussed in-depth here: Active Sensor Design
Missile Fire Controls can only operate in conjunction with an active search sensor. The active sensor does not have to be on the same ship.
