Default Re: Specific vs common sensors ?

I agree with you that the Neural Combat Net is really not a sensor. I only included it along with Multiplex tracking because SE4 Gold puts them in the sensor Category in its description of the various components.

I appreciate your comments on the system wide capabilities of the cloaking sensors and the counteracting “’system level’ sensors’”.

But unfortunately, it does not completely answer my question.

So, let me put the question another way.

Let’s say I was foolish enough, to build a battleship with all the “sensors” in it. And then build a cruiser with just weapons. In essence, the cruiser is ‘naked”. And further, let’s assume the sensors I have installed on the battleship are all of a higher level that the sensors of the opposing fleet. Now, to what extent does the cruiser benefit from the sensors I equipped the battleship with:

Combat Sensors – no
ECM
Gravitic Sensors
Hyper Optics
Long Range Scanners - yes
Multiplex Tracking - no
Neural Combat Net - yes
Psychic Receptors
Scanner Jammer
Tachyon Sensors
Temporal Sensors

I have answered a few from what I think you have said, but the others are still open for clarification…
