.TH Command LOOKOUT
|
|
.NA lookout "Check from ships for other ships and/or sector types"
|
|
.LV Basic
|
|
.SY "lookout <SHIP/FLEET>"
|
|
The lookout command allows ships to report sightings
|
|
of other ships and land sectors.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The various ranges over which lookout is effective
|
|
break down into two groups:
|
|
.s1
|
|
SHIP to SHIP
|
|
.s1
|
|
.in +0.2i
|
|
This range is dependent on both the visibility of the ship
|
|
being observed and the visual range of the observing ship.
|
|
(see \*Qinfo Ship-types\*U)
|
|
Submarines at sea are a special case - they cannot be seen by simply looking
|
|
out from a ship! In order to detect subs at sea, you need to use sonar.
|
|
Submarines have a very limited range for what ships they
|
|
can see using their periscope--they can usually only see ships in the
|
|
same sector. However, all ships (including subs) which are docked in
|
|
a harbour are visible to all ships (including subs) in adjacent sectors.
|
|
(see also \*Qinfo sonar\*U)
|
|
.in
|
|
.s1
|
|
SHIP to SECTOR
|
|
.s1
|
|
.in +0.2i
|
|
This range is effectively 1.0.
|
|
.in
|
|
.s1
|
|
For example:
|
|
.EX lookout 24
|
|
.NF
|
|
Groonland (#1) patrol boat #10 @-13,7
|
|
Curmudgeon (#4) heavy cruiser #36 @-14,6
|
|
Groonland (#1) oil derrick #41 @-14,6
|
|
Groonland (#1) tender #53 @-14,6
|
|
Groonland (#1) mine 100% eff with approx. 300 civilians @-12,6
