STARSHIP SENSORS

Description
1. Sensors contributes to the ability of a starship to successfully target enemy ships.
2. Sensors also contribute to a starships initiative score. Starships with a high sensor count are more likely to win initiative rolls.
3. Sensors also contribute to the likelihood of preventing an enemy fleet from retreating. The higher the higher average sensors for a fleet, the less likely the enemy will be able to retreat.
4. Larger ships gain many more sensors per slot than smaller ships.
5. On gaining a new technology level in Sensors, you have to design and build new starships to gain anybenefit from the advance.
6. Each ship-class has a threshold level (minimum no of sensors) before targeting orders can be successfully applied. Below this level, they will use standard targeting regardless of targeting order assigned.

Strategies
1. It is pointless doing huge amounts of damage if this damage will not actually hit the enemy ships. It is imperative to find a balance between damage levels and accuracy. Having enough sensor slots is crucial to making every shot count.
2. Heavy capital ships gain the most from sensor slots.
3. Be sure to check your own most evasive ships to have an idea what level of evasion your enemy might be capable of. When designing ships, make sure they are accurate enought o be able to counter the worst your enemy can throw at you.
