Sensor power?

Is there any way to set this? From the various modding sites I've found the sensor PCS setting, but that only seems to affect others detecting you, not vice versa.

Right, that's the subsystem I was messing with. However..the mod SDK shows only one variable, the range, and it seems that variable just determines the preset sensor ranges on the HUD.
http://araney.250free.com/starshattermod/index.html has a bit more, the PCS setting- but nothing about active, passive, or detection power. (though I suppose the PCS setting could be used to emulate active/passive)
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/Mehrunes/ ... dding.html meanwhile.. doesn't mention it at all.
I'm not bad at puzzling things out, but I kind of need all the pieces to do so.

sensor: {
pcs: 25,
active_efficiency: 2e9,
passive_efficiency: 500,
range: 25e3,
range: 50e3,
range: 75e3,
loc: (0, 0, 145),
size: 5,

}

hope this helps

Thanks, though I have to wonder where you people find these things, heh. Maybe there's more information on the old forum, because my searches here aren't giving me much use.
Or is that what SSD is? I keep hearing about it but every time I try to access it the site is down.

Found some info on the old forum..unfortunately it was bad news.
There goes that aspect of sensor modeling..
It was way too hard to balance system level PCS settings. So I removed them, and consolidated them into a single PCS rating for the entire ship. This is defined at the ship level (i.e. not in any system structure). As DL said, it defaults to 1.0 in 3.7.5, but I am increasing the default to 3.0 in 3.7.6. -milo
