Radar and Targeting in 4.7

Quick Summary

• Power assignment now directly affects aim assist range, ESP, and precision targeting

• Cross Section is no longer passively detected, you must ping

• Caves are more reliably found with radar now

• Radars can be swapped in VMA now

Radar Properties

• The amount of power assigned to the radar affects the aim assist.

• Increased power demand for all Radars. Activation power is either the same or lower.

• CS (cross-section) is only picked up on ping.

Radar-Based Aim Assist

• Aim Assist Range Now Tied to Installed Radar

  • Ship aim assist is now governed by the radar equipped in your vehicle rather than applying uniformly at a fixed distance. The effective engagement window is determined by the power tier and model of your installed radar, defining both the minimum and maximum distances at which aim assist activates. Upgrading to a higher-grade radar will extend the range at which aim assist engages targets, while smaller or lower-powered units will support assist only at closer combat distances.

• Aim assist now also includes a retention buffer. Once aim assist has locked onto a target within range, it will remain active for a short additional distance beyond the listed maximum before disengaging, preventing it from flickering on and off during close-range maneuvering at the edge of its effective range.

• EXAMPLE: assigning 2 points of power to your S1 Radar would set aim assist at 910 meters, while assigning 5 points would increase it to 1,105 (only a 65m / point increase...)

New Radar Variants Added

• A large number of new radar variants have been added across multiple manufacturers and ship sizes (S0 through S3), significantly expanding loadout customization options.

• Each variant has been individually tuned with distinct aim assist range profiles to reflect its grade and intended role.

  • Recon-focused units tend to prioritize extended engagement windows.

  • Combat-optimized models offer tighter, more aggressive assist profiles.

The following manufacturers have new radar variants available:

• Basilisk has new S1 and S2 combat models including the Prophet and Cassandra variants

• CHCO has an expanded S0 through S4 lineup including FullSpec, BroadSpec, and Observer variants across multiple grades

• Garuda/Gorenberg has new S0 through S3 options including the Tige, Vigilance, Savoir, Fidele, Resolu, and Devoue models

• Navegante has new S1 and S2 sensor arrays including the SNSR5, SNSR7, and extended variants

• Wilon has new S0 through S3 options including the Abetti, Agrippa, Anysta, Capsulo, and Socoria models
