Crew detection ranges

Cmdr Fud Pucker · 12-31-08, 05:03 PM

I really like RFB since the stock 1.4 was way too easy. My question is: How can I get my crew to notify me of contacts (sonar and visual) that I can detect way before they inform me of them. Short of doing a manual sonar or visual scan every hour or so the only thing that tells me I'm in range of a contact while using compressed time is my cronometer stuttering. I then go to normal time, run a manual sonar sweep and sometimes there is a contact out over 30,000 yds that I can detect but my crew is oblivious to. I have to practicaly run over a contact for my crew to notify me.
