So here’s a question that I think needs to be asked. With the range of most ship to ship weapons being measured in AU (Astronomical Units) and with ships capable of moving damn near the speed of light with conventional engines, how do you hit anything? Clearly detecting things with sensors that pick up EM emissions (light, radio waves, magnetic field, etc.) would pose a problem, since at one AU, by the time these emissions reach you, they’d be roughly eight minutes old and whatever you’re trying to target has already moved.
Clearly there is some kind of FTL sensor or something, what I want to know is what is the mechanism used for this? Just what is it detecting and how does it do this faster than light?
