Thanks for the update Sigma.Sigma said:Map updates and GM Posts to come soon. Working on them right now.
EDIT: I had to link the maps because they're bigger than 800 pixels.
Glad to have you back. Sorry for a not so nice welcome from Phaedra. :?Mold said:hello, I am going to post tonight. sorry that i haven't been posting
Sigma said:She had, however, also unwittingly alerted the NMX that she was there. They knew she was there and it was time to destroy her.
One would think that the falling elevators would have tipped them off first.

Also, shouldn't our active sensors pick up the movement, even with the backdrop of stone and metal? Failing that, would Ice's well honed sense for being jumped in back alleys have kicked in to at least tell her that there was something out there? I'd be nice to be a bit proactive here.
That excerpt from your post does not specify your target. Active sensors work best when you actually have a target to focus on. Not to search for a target.she pulsed her active sensors for a second to see what might be waiting
andWith that he sent his suit's systems to passively scan across the spectrum for wireless signals repeatedly.
You can flip through the various modes and spectra on passive. When the Monoeye is active, all of them are working at once and lock onto a single target. Do not confuse the two. Demonblooded played it on passive mode.the ID-SOL found himself switching through different visual spectrum as part of his search
Kevyn said:She moved forward to cover Talbain and Bastilen's backs, taking full advantage of her suit's sensors to watch for hostiles.
Unless, enemy would use some sort of emittor, like active sensors themselves. If they would emit a wave of particles, your passive radar would get it. But if enemy does not have active sensors on, you won't get anything.
Though I have to clarify that while you can channel surf the modes, your SAVTECH will still be watching the 9001 other modes and will alert you if something seems too out of the ordinary. In RP practice since, this has been the case despite the updated description introducing 'low key radar and ladar'Passive sensors, though limited to a single mode or spectrum, are like a trawling net to pick up on lots of things.
