Hi all!
I have a couple question about the scalability of the radars.
According to he sources I read, the long-range radars make a sweep in every (10 or 30 minute). If it is true, then having multiple radar makes sense (since they increase the sweeping frequency). With more long-range radar (often sweeping), I have a better chance to catch alien ship, which is in my radar range just for a couple minute.
But other sources said, the detection bar is bugged, and more than one long range radar is useless.
I have read a couple (contradicting) information about the detection-probability. Source "A" says: long-range radar has a 5% detection chance for every 10 minute. But source "B" said: a long-range radar has a 20% detection range in every 30 minute. 1-0,05^3 =/= 0,8 So, at least one of the two source is wrong.
I have read, that the hyper-wave decoder has 100% detection probability. What does it means? It can capture the communication of the ships with 100% probability IF they are communicating, and the decoder is sweeping right now? Are the ships always communicating?
Well, I don't speak english, so if I wrote something unintelligible, quote it, and i try to rewrite it...
