Vehicle Handbook Update 2026 - Now Here!

The defence of space is reliant upon properly identifying ships and unidentified objects. A sensor extension net enhances the clarity of a sensor suite beyond its default range by using small drones to relay additional data to a central hub. Each drone is also a sensor platform in its own right, which transmits data to the control centre of the array via a network.

An extension net increases the range at which a sensor suite can normally obtain Limited or Full detail by a single step. For example, a visual sensor can normally see Full detail up to Short range and Limited detail up to Long range. With an extension net, this is increased to full detail up to Medium range and Limited detail up to Very Long range.

An extension net cannot be used with NAS or densitometers, nor can it be used to receive data if the ship that deployed it is manoeuvring.
