Outler line is visual, second one in is passive, third one is active.

Note that the 'active' shows up regarless of wether or not the ship is fitted with active gear.

Furthermore the pattern appears to be the same regardless of what type of ship. Now a ship with an 80 foot tall super structure would have a lot more visual range than an old split freighter.

But it is what it is.
