Active Sensor Burst
| Turn off engines to reduce interference and link all sensors in the fleet into a single network.
Increases sensor range by 3000 units and increases the range at which the fleet can be detected by 5000 units. The fleet is only able to move slowly while the ability is active. 2000 units is 1 map grid cell A fleet is considered slow-moving at a burn level of half that of its slowest ship. |

–In-Game Description | ||
Increases your fleets sensor strength by 3000 units and sensor profile by 5000 units. The fleet is reduced to its go-slow speed (half the burn level of the slowest ship).
Although you really do not want to utilise this ability if you're trying to keep your presence hidden, it allows for easy baiting of patrols when you have your transponder off. Moreover, because the Interdiction Pulse ability is based on sensor strength, a sensor burst can block it if timed correctly.
It also allows for better recognition of sensor blips or exact information about fleets, the using of a sensor burst allows for say the differentiation between e.g. dormant remnant fleets or something salvageable like an abandoned orbital habitat.
