◎ SIGNATURE MANAGEMENT

What are signatures? EM (electromagnetic) drives radar detection distance. IR (infrared) is heat signature. Cross-section (CS) is physical radar profile. Lower signatures = harder to detect. Components like power plants, shields, and thrusters affect each signature.

Cross-section is fixed per ship and reduced by stealth components. Data being compiled — check back soon.

Detection Range Estimator

Approximate scanner range (km) to detect your ship at full EM signature. Actual detection depends on pilot skill, distance, and scanner type.
