What does radar dampening do?
« on: January 10, 2011, 03:31:39 pm »
Something I've been wondering about as a new player, but I see ships with things like "Radar dampening 5000". What does that do?

I tried finding it on the wiki, but there's a lot of entries about things having radar dampening and doesn't seem to be one that just explains what it is.

Thanks. :)

Ships that have radar dampening are unable to be shot by ships that are further than X away, where X is their dampening range.  So, a lower range is better (sometimes much better).
