Modding SEV Thread Questions

[Elsemeravin]

About sensors and cloaking, is there really now only one kind of cloaking/sensors ?
I mean compared to SEIV were you could mod 5 classes of cloaking/sensors...

But in fact the 5 sensors in SE IV did all the same. You could mod them a little bit to make them more useful in combination but it was not a big deal.
I will be happy with only one sensor/cloaking type, if (and that is a big if) we can make range dependent.

The truth is I was disappointed a little bit in SEIV has the sensor system was not really logical.
But I was thinking that if the following rule could be applied it could make things interesting:

A Sensor can detect a ship if at least one of its "sight" (as called in SEV it seems) for a "type" (if there would be several, using for example the Amount2 value) is higher than the cloak value (Amount 1 of cloaking component) of the same type.

Then the following scenarios could be created:
type 1 : mass
type 2 : spirit
type 3 : visual

Ship 1 has:
Level 2 type 1 cloak (small ship has little mass)
Level 4 type 3 cloak (almost-invisible ship)
Level 1 type 3 sensor (visual sight through space)

Ship 2 has:
Level 3 type 2 cloak (psychic crew shielding)
Level 3 type 2 sensor (psychic crew)
Level 1 type 3 sensor (visual sight through space)

Then we would heve:
Ship 1 can see Ship 2 (visual)
Ship 1 cannot see Ship 1
Ship 2 can see Ship 2 (visual)
Ship 2 can see Ship 1 (psychic)

Do you think that I should forget such objectives for SEV again (as happened with SEIV)?

EDIT: Well at least we got the range now. (Both range and types would have been perfect but range is better than types, I agree with you)
