Short Range Gravimetric Sensors

These sensors work very similarly to the Short Range Energy Passive Sensors and also have a range of 1 light year, however they are sensitive to gravity disturbances and can be used to detect certain objects that do not give off energy readings. These are (but not restricted to):
- Dyson Sphere (or any type of shielded/cloaked star/planet)
- Black Holes
- Worm holes

Power Requirements

The short range gravimetric sensors only draw 5MW of power when they are active.

Upgrades

Research can be used to increase the range of the sensor.

Dev Notes

The black hole at the center of the rift will obviously show up very clearly on this.

As with all ships systems they have a health value. However the gravimetric scanner works on a different principal to the short range energy scanner, and it does not suffer any ill effects until its health falls below 80%, at which point it stops working.

When the unit is working, it updates every 10 seconds. All objects detected are always at least 100% detection strength due to the massive gravitational pulls involved.
