"Depending on the setting of the EMCON AT MISSION STARTUP option in the Game Options screen, your platforms’ radars are ON or OFF at the start of your mission. Be sure to visit the Game Options screen before starting your mission. If you start a mission in Emissions Control (EMCON) status, all of your platforms with the exception of airborne platforms have all sensors OFF. If you turn the EMCON AT MISSION STARTUP option OFF, all platforms begin the mission with radars ON."

At game exit you can lose sync if not set to OFF an upon restart units can change course to track.

Note, I've hacked in to Steed's account and gone through the EU to turn off Mookie's google and wiki. You should be good to answer the questions now.

On a side note, I'd watch out for Subnuts, he's moving into mookie's turf.

Start timer now.

Stay on topic

No topic highjacking

Answer in this thread.

Isn't it obvious? It's the EMCON button! It's always going to turn everybody onto poodles!
