Summary0016203: Replace Sonar with Ultrasound
DescriptionPlayers have reported confusion about Sonar. I imagine this is because we are thinking about submarines and using it to detect things in water. I would suggest that Sonar be replaced in game with Ultrasound. It is technically more correct, and would lead to less confusion as to its purpose.

I think Ground-Penetrating Radar would be the proper technology.

I like it better than ultrasound, wasn't sure what type of energy they wanted to use.

The main problem is this gets very long in terms of wording. Ultrasound I'd be okay with if people feel like it's that confusing. Is this still something coming up?

We don't use this word nearly so much anymore, and I'd like to keep it as-is for those cases where we still do.
