Nebulous Radar

Description
This mod adds in a radar system similar to that of Nebulous Fleet Command. In order to use a radar, just place one down on a grid and sit down in it. In order to radar lock as well as use the jammer, use the toolbar actions.

Grid RCS is calculated via (LG blockcount * 0.05)^2*2.5+(SG blockcount * 0.05)^2*0.01+((Generated power in MW) * 0.5)^1.8

Radar detection mechanics are implimented from: http://nebfltcom.wikidot.com/mechanics:radar

how does the system work in caveman terms, ive throw it on my ship but i cant seem to be able to detect shit unless im 5km away.
Spocku Aug 14 @ 3:52am 
in other words, i should be able to sit in my base, lock onto something with a cruise missile bc its within range of the radar (sat is only 32km up) and hit it. Im not even seeing the hud markers from this mod for anything near me, just whats near the sat.

So i built a satellite and put a radar on it (basic one, has 50km range) and linked it with a laser antenna. Its only showing me radar pings from near the sattelite and nothing on the planet that im pointing it at (a.k.a my base) but i can see the literal antennas on my hud from them. Does it not actually display that far

Does the lock actually function like a vanilla lock? As in will weapons that are told to focus on locked target focus on a target locked through this mod beyond the 800m range? Does it integrate with AI blocks to let them lock onto targets using these radars? I see a comment about vanilla+ framework below mine. Do vanilla+ guided missiles lock onto targets?

If locking actually does copy vanilla lock-on mechanics, what happens if I lock onto a target with the vanilla lock-on while I lock onto a different target with this mod?

small grid, large grid, both? Put it in the description plz lmao

also @Kieran514 it looks like hes making his own version of everything surrounded around vanilla+ which honestly is arguably better than WC

I know this isn't compatible with weaponcore, but what isn't working? Like, I know it wouldn't be able to help guide weapon fire, but what if we just use it to find grids? or does weapon core just break the whole thing?

The small grid civilian radar seems to have broken build states

In simpler terms than the hard math, how do you get ships to detect other ships better? Trying to test it out but I'm not having any luck at the moment

The rotation controls don't have anything to do with radar. Since the radar blocks are LCD panels, that's actually the control to rotate the image/text on the screen.
Mnichu Jun 18 @ 10:08am 
what does the increase/decrease rotation even do?
