How effective are TL15 basic sensors? Yet another deficiency in Vehicles and High Guard, or could the TL stage effects be used on sensors too...
* T2300 AEH sensor systems
For each TL above base pick any combination of the following, some may be taken multiple times
reduced tonnage - reduce sensor tonnage by 1 (maximum reduction 3t)
efficient - reduce power by 1 (maximum power reduction 3)
high resolution - increase DM by 1 (maximum DM addition of 3 up to a maximum DM of 0)
Note - a power rating of (0) means the sensors may be used passively.
If you want a better sensor that is a higher TL than your base then you have to take a disadvantage, up to a maximum of 3. Each disadvantage increases the cost by 50%
increased tonnage - increase sensor tonnage by 1 (maximum increase 3t)
inefficient - increase power by 1 (maximum power increase 3)
low resolution resolution - increase DM by 1 (maximum DM reduction of 3)
eg basic sensor
TL9 DM-3, TL10 DM -2, TL11 DM -1
eg TL8 "civilian rated" sensor has 3 options
DM -2, power 1, tons 2
DM -2, power 2, tons 1
DM -3, power 1, tons 1
eg TL8 "military rated" has 2 disadvantages.
TL9 can have "military" with 1 disadvantage, or improved with 3 disadvantages.
Sensor | TL | suite | DM | power | Tons | Cost |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
basic | 8 | Lidar, Radar | -4 | 0 | - | - |
civilian | 9 | Lidar, Radar | -2 | 1 | 1 | MCr3 |
basic nav* | 9 | Radar/Lidar, Passive EM, Visual | -2 | 5 | 1 | |
minimal* | 10 | Radar, Lidar, Visual | -4 | 1 | - | |
military | 10 | Jammers, Lidar, Radar | 0 | 2 | 2 | MCr4.1 |
basic mil* | 11 | Radar/Lidar, Passive EM, Visual, Jammers | 0 | 10 | 2 | |
adv mil* | 12 | Radar/Lidar, Passive EM, Visual, Jammers | +1 | 20 | 3 | |
v adv mil* | 12 | Radar/Lidar, Passive EM, Visual, Jammers | +1 | 30 | 5 | |
improved | 12 | Densitometer, Jammers, Lidar, Radar | +1 | 4 | 3 | MCr4.3 |
advanced | 15 | Densitometer, Jammers, Lidar, Neural Activity Sensor, Radar | +2 | 6 | 5 | MCr5.3 |
