  Space Sensors 
   The basic details of available space weapons are shown here. 
   
  Space 
  Sensors-2 
   
  K Analyzer / Sniffer  
   (Electronics, Biologics. Passive). The 
  Analyzer detects volatiles in space and 
  (more usually) in atmosphere. 
   
  L Life Detector  
   (Magnetics. Passive). A Life Detector 
  senses the presence of organisms 
  (based on the principles of Perception). 
   
  M Mass Sensor  
   (Gravitics. Passive). A Mass Sensor 
  detects masses. It is a less sensitive 
  version of the Grav Sensor. 
   
  N Neutrino Detector (Gravitics. 
  Passive). Neutrino Detectors sense 
  neutrinos, primarily as the byproduct of 
  fusion reactions: positive readings 
  reflect the presence of stars, starship or 
  world fusion reactors, or nuclear 
  activity. 
   Because neutrinos are almost 
  impossible to shield, Neutrino Detectors 
  are effective in sensing ships through 
  their Power Plants (although not A-
  Plants or Collectors). The can also 
  detect Fusion+ modules. 
   Ships frustrate Neutrino Detectors by 
  turning the Power Plant off, or by 
  approaching with the local star directly 
  behind them. 
   
  P Proximeter  
   (Electronics. Passive). A Proximeter 
  senses objects close to the hull of a 
  starship. It serves as an accurate close-
  up altimeter, and as an alert device 
  when objects (people) approach. 
   
   
  Q Stealth Mask  
   (Polymers. Passive). Stealth Mask is 
  a signal absorber. The device (actually 
  an external hull coating) absorbs or 
  diverts Active sensor signals. Stealth 
  Mask can be switched On and Off. 
   The value or effectiveness of Stealth 
  mask is TL the sum of (TL + Mod – 
  Space Range). Stealth Mask is a 
  negative Mod on the attempting Active 
  Sensor Task. 
   
  R Radar  
   (Electronics. Passive/Active). Radar 
  projects radio pulses in sweeping scans 
  of an area and interprets the returned 
  signals (echoes) for information about 
  an objects size, distance, and speed. 
  S Scanner  
   (Electronics. Passive/Active). 
  Scanner is an advanced form of 
  Electromagnetic Sensor. 
   
  T Scope  
   (Photonics. Passive). Scope is vision 
  screen with distance and enhancement 
  capabilities. It acquires images and 
  magnifies them for interaction, 
  navigation, and analysis.  
   
  V Visor  
   (Photonics. Passive). Visor is the 
  basic visual sensor. It uses external 
  cameras with telescopic enhancements 
  to view images. 
   
  W CommPlus  
   (Gravitics. Passive/Active). 
  CommPlus is an advanced version of 
  Communicator which uses particles 
  (primarily neutrinos) to carry 
  information. CommPlus can transmit 
  through objects (worlds, planets, stars). 
   CommPlus is incompatible with 
  Communicators. Neither can receive 
  and transmit to the other system. 
   CommPlus operate otherwise in the 
  same manner as Communications 
  (Broadcast, Beamcast, Burst). 
   
  Y Sound Sensor  
   (Electronics. Passive). Sound Sensor 
  is an external audio pickup capable of 
  sensing a wide variety of sounds. It 
  operates only in atmosphere (or under 
  water). 
   
  MULTIPLE SENSORS 
   A ship may install any number of 
  sensors, subject only to tonnage 
  restrictions. More than one of a specific 
  sensor (multiples of the same model, or 
  several different models) may be 
  installed for redundancy. 
   
  EXTENDABLE SENSORS 
   Sensors may be mounted on 
  Extendable Stalks. 
   
  DEPLOYABLE SENSORS 
   Sensors may be installed in 
  Deployable Hardpoints; they may be 
  moved and operated at a distance from 
  the ship. Deployable Sensors are 
  installed in the Weapons section.

   Each Sensor requires a 1-ton console on the Bridge (which includes its associated Local Computer) and a Mount places 
  somewhere on the hull or on a weapons mount.
