Hi there. I've asked ingame already, but got no answer. Now I try it here. When a ship has an attribute called "Gravimetric Sensor Strength: 20 points", does that mean I can only find/scan gravimetric things? Or is it just a bonus to finding/scanning gravimetric things?

It means that your ship will be affected by the Gravimetric Strenght of ECM and ECCM modules.

Each race's ships have different types of sensors. Amarr ships use radar, Caldari ships use gravimetric, Gallente ships use magnetometric, Minmatar use LADAR.
The sensors all have the same impact on gameplay - you target other ships. Other impacts of the sensor type come into play when you're using ECM target jammers to stop an enemy from targeting you or your friends. The short version is that a gravimetric jammer will be better at jamming Caldari ships, LADAR jammers will work better against Minmatar ships, and so on.
One of the more popular ECM target jamming ships is the Falcon (based on the Blackbird hull). Should you wish to learn more about sensor types and ECM, just search the forums for "Falcon" or "ECM." There are enough articles on ECM on these forums to keep anyone entertained for a few months because of Falcon.

Oh, so it does not affect the scanning of Gravimetric/Magnetometric/Radar/Ladar Signatures at all. Just targeting other players, right? |

No, it does not affect either. It only affects how effective will th evarious ECM modules be when used against you, and which ECCM module you need to fit to counter them.

Thank you very much.
It has a side effect of determining how difficult YOU are to probe down.
The higher sensor strength is, the harder it is to get your location with scanner probes.
and further more why do i even need a sig? |

To clarify: having Radar/Grav/Mag/LADAR sensors will make no difference in this respect, only sensor strength.
