Summary	0001649: Sensor units' ranges
Description	There are two mobile sensors: Tachyon Drones, and Decloakers. - The tachyon beam range Tachyon Drones should be increased to 1500, which should be enough to clear a minefield sitting on a wormhole or near a guard post while still being low enough to encourage a Decloaker for more advanced usage. As it stands, the current range of 750 requires units to be point-blank to detect, and practically forces investing in the tachyon turret or decloaker. - The tachyon beam range of the Decloaker (currently 15000) should be equal or greater than its firing range (currently 18000). If set to FRD or attack-move, it will prefer sniping at units near wormholes/guard posts before getting close enough to detect nearby mines or other cloaked units. Easiest fix is setting the projectile range to 0004202:0014500.

KDR_11k Nov 28, 2010 2:43 am reporter ~0004590	It used to be equal before a blanket 2000 range increase for all mobile units.

Chris_McElligottPark Dec 23, 2010 3:43 pm administrator ~0006899	Thanks! * The tachyon drone's range has been doubled from 750 to 1500, and the decloaker's range has been increased from 15k to 20k.
