Sensor Range Cap?

from GalCiv2 Forums

Why is there a sensor range cap?

Is there a way to remove it or work around it?

 

I just tried to create myself a sensor satellite and it appears I have failed miserably due to no fault of my own.

Nope, it's hardcoded to 15pc.

But 15pc is still pretty damn awesome! With that sensor range, you can see alot!

Without it, could see much more, especially useful in Immense.

If I recall correctly, there once was no sensor limit. It caused serious lag issues when someone tried to push the sensor range *really* high to see the whole, or most of the, map. At least it caused that one guy serious issues. It might have been a PC problem, as my PC is powerful and doesn't have lag issues when I try to distribute sensor ships everywhere.

Yes, a sensor range of 15 can be a pain, especially when ships are running around with speeds greater than 15. I don't think there is anyway to remove this cap.
