SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - [TEC] What sets distance for Contact Reports?

I was out testing some RFB tweaks tonight, and ran into a sweet-looking enemy task force - looks like it's probably several troopship/liners, with maybe a couple of heavy cruisers and a few destroyers. I'm shadowing on the surface at night, just at the edge of visual contact range. My crew are popping off with "ship sighted" contact reports like crazy, so i figure - now should be a good time to send a contact report before completing my end-around and closing for the attack. However, although I and my crew have spotted a bunch of the ships, the game won't let me send a contact report.

Does anybody know (1) what the maximum range is at which you can send a contact report, and (2) is that range moddable so that it can be increased to be in concert with how far your crew can spot the ships?
