Command : SKYWATCH

Expert

[##:##] skywatch [<SECTS>]

The skywatch command allows sectors to report sightings of satellites.

The visibility range is equal to four times the sector efficiency expressed as a decimal times the technology factor; e.g. a 100% efficient mine with a 50% technology factor can see 2 sectors away. An exception is radar installations, which have a maximum range equal to fourteen times the sector efficiency, (i.e. 3.5 times as far).

A typical usage might be:
[##:##] sky #3 ?type=)
