Active / Passive sensors

[Taera]

do not forget that its 5k base for Hyper Optics and 50k base for Sensors.

You both answered what I thought.

I just find it a bit odd that after Hyperoptics comes the same tech again as tachyon sensors, in the same tech, ie Sensor tech 3 = hyper optics 3 (Scans lev 4), sensors tech 4 = Tachyon sensors 1 (scans lev 2) (That is not as good as the one before).

But I understand how it is now.

That's odd. The hyperoptics come after training facilities in advanced military science.

Tachyon sensors come after combat sensors 3.

But which one you have, and when, just depends on what you're researching.

That is wrong. They do not come from the same tech areas at all. You do not need any sensors tech to get Hyper Optics.
