Does this mean that the game gives you a completely random number (e.g. the ship is 5000 meters away, and the game says it's 14000 meters away), or is the number approximate (e.g. the game says it's 5000 meters away even though the ship is 5500 meters away)?
What I mean is, can the game be relied upon to give a range report that is somewhat accurate, or is it now wildly inaccurate to remove the annoying advantage of being given a precise report?

The reported range is randomized by a percent of the true range (reported range = true range x (1 ± random percent). Max error percent vary depending on crew experience and weather state. In addition, in future there will be a customizable option for rounding the reported range to a multiple of an input number
