+ | |||
+ | Military ships will often switch off their transponders when on a mission, though it is against Imperium law for civilian ships to do so. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The transponder signal carries the ID of the ship, and where it was registered, and has enough information to work out the heading of the vessel. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Starports ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Starports will generally have high quality sensor arrays that allow them to monitor most of the star system. | ||
+ | |||
+ | They have neutrino sensors which allow them to detect a ship's jump (either out, or in). | ||
+ | |||
+ | The general ranges at which a starport will be aware of what's going on depends on its size. Double these ranges if there is a Naval base present. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== A ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Transponder signals with 30 AU. | ||
+ | * Detect jumps within 10 AU. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== B ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Transponder signals with 10 AU. | ||
+ | * Detect jumps with 3 AU. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== C ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Transponder signals with 3 AU. | ||
+ | * Detect jumps within 1 AU. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== D ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Transponder signals with 1 AU. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Increase by one range band if population is 1 billion+. Increase by 1 range band if TL is 13+. | ||
+ | Range bands beyond 30 AU are 60 AU, 100 AU. | ||
