Sensors

In BM (and some stock) clouds and asteroid fields can hide ships. How do you determine what sensor power level you need to detect said ships?

If the mod doesn't have the abilities tell you, all you can do is look in the data files, and hope that the modder wasn't a bastard and used a ton of different levels.

For reference, stock uses 10, and FQM/BM use 16.

So what does 16 mean? The sensors need a str of 16 to detect ships in there?

If so, it seems a bit much. Stealth Armor and Cloaking Devices start out at 1 and 6 (if I read the formulas right), respectively.

Imperator Fyron : Any answer for this? PBW strategy counts on it

I think he means that there are 16 different types of storm with varying levels of cloakiness.
