Targeting ring around Station on navmap

Post by Janus »

On my nav map, it looks like there is a targeting ring around Evochron station. Below is a screenshot of it.

Anyone know what that is? I don't see it around other stations on the navmap and I've not seen it around Evochron station before.

That indicates a player deployed a sensor array at that location. You can also see the dots within the sensor ring, which provide the locations of ships in range of the array.

:cool: Some of the uses of that ring:
  • Finding cargo pods which are detected and reported (in Chat) by your science officer.
  • Tracking down fleeing enemy ships you need to destroy in order to complete a contract.
  • Finding a pilot in retreat after nearly blowing him (or her) up during PvP.
