That's pretty much exactly how it works out given the formulas involved.
really? Then I literally have no idea how sensor profiles work? That might be a problem? Perhaps someone could post a sensor profile graph showing the log scale of military ships versus civilian ships versus 50/50 mixed ships???
By the way, could you briefly explain what the enemy sensor "radar rings" actually mean. If you see their radar ring , that means you can see them right? That is to say, you see the radar ring emanating from their "center" position, which is revealing a previously invisible enemy fleet. That is really confusing to me, because radar does not function that way "intuitively," it emanates from you, that's how you detect. So really, you shouldn't see any enemy's "ring" you should see an enemies "blip" which is a disturbance in your ring. Unless your not detecting the enemy but triangulating based on their own electromagnetic signature (their ring???)
That's a confusing question cause its totally different from the "radar burst" special function that both you and the enemy can do, THAT makes sense, that's exactly how radar works intuively. What I don't understand is the normal "background" radar dynamics. If you see the enemy radar rings, im pretty sure that means you see them, but they dont necessarily see you right?
Also, when they do their own radar burst, how can you tell if they did or did not see you from the interface? For instance sometimes I see the strong radar ring waver over my fleet, does that mean detection? Other times I see an outer solid small radar ring in addition to the main ring, does THAT mean detection?
Fuuuuh, an explanatory youtube radar tutorial video would be appreciated...
