Sensors

[h.sie]

Makman and me are working in the background.

I wrote a hardcode fix that makes detection probability visible as a value for makman, and I also totally removed randomness from detection probability, so that the influence of environmental parameters on detection probability can now be analysed much easier. Results are now 100% reproduceable, that means, an enemy ship will now be detected at exactly the same range if one does several tests with the same mission. Saves a lot of time, since no more statistic experiments necessary.

There was also a weird effect on detection probability - caused by the direction the crew looks. The devs maybe wanted to model the influence of the sunlight (one cannot see well when looking into the sun) but this effect also is present in full strength, if no sun is visible, and even at dark night. This effect I also (temporarily) disabled for better analysis of the other environmental parameters.

Makman is now doing some analysis with the fix. I think he'll contact you.
