Doug Shaftoe	Posted - 2007.07.07 12:24:00 - [1] Edited by: Doug Shaftoe on 07/07/2007 12:24:47 Edited by: Doug Shaftoe on 07/07/2007 12:24:20 I apologise if there are threads on this, but evesearch did not turn up any. I've found some odd behaviour when trying to fit sensor boosters, in this example to a Vulture. My Vulture's unmodified max targeting range is just under 94km. If I hover the mouse cursor over a Sensor Booster I in my hangar while the Fitting window is open, the Scan Resolution and Max Targeting Range attributes turn yellow and increase (from 243 to 365, and from 93750m to 140625m respectively), as they should do. But, if I actually fit this module and make it active, those attributes remain at their original values. I tried this in space. I fitted the sensor booster but left it inactive, and got 99km away from something. I could not lock onto it, as expected. Then I activated the sensor booster. I should then easily have been able to lock onto the same thing at that range but could not. What is going on here? I have tried this with an Iteron and the same behaviour was exhibited.

Ed Macpherson	Posted - 2007.07.07 12:47:00 - [3] I tried it with a few types of booster and got the same result. Also deleted my prefs to no effect.
DarkElf Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.07.07 12:47:00 - [4] mmm how odd. don't suppose maybe u have stabs on and the affects don't show while docked maybe? DE
Unaralas Save our Souls	Posted - 2007.07.07 12:48:00 - [5] Edited by: Unaralas on 07/07/2007 12:48:15 You can open the fittings window in space. Press ctrl-shift-f, turn the sensor booster on, and see what happens? Also, they work fine for me. We are [505]

Lrrp Minmatar Gallente Mercantile Exchange	Posted - 2007.07.07 14:03:00 - [8] In space, activate booster, right click on your ship/show info. What does it say for targeting range. Also check the speed of target aquisition against a target with booster off and on. Mine work just fine.
Doug Shaftoe	Posted - 2007.07.07 14:22:00 - [9] Yep, did that and it indicates the booster is not having any effect. The attributes are the same with the booster on as with the booster off. Also the lock time is identical as far as I can tell.
ArtemisEntreri Art of War Cult of War	Posted - 2007.07.07 14:24:00 - [10] This is very weird, have you tried relogging it could be a desync thing? If not make a bug report https://bugs.eve-online.com/
Doug Shaftoe	Posted - 2007.07.07 14:32:00 - [11] I have relogged a number of times since I started this topic. I guess a bug report is in order then.
kliop Wisdom Seekers	Posted - 2007.07.07 15:44:00 - [12] did u check if it is a booster and not eccm or whatever?:) -------------------------------- hello o/

Jim McGregor	Posted - 2007.07.07 16:09:00 - [15] Hehe, you probably equipped a remote sensor booster. --- Originally by: CCP Wrangler You're not supposed to feel like you're logging in to a happy, happy, fluffy, fluffy lala land filled with fun and adventures, thats what hello kitty online is for.
royal killer Amarr The Funkalistic SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.07 18:14:00 - [16] When you put your mouse over the mod, it shows you what your stats would be with the mod online, and when u fitt it or move the mouse away, it goes back to normal, or is it something else thats happenin here? --------------------
Doug Shaftoe	Posted - 2007.07.07 18:24:00 - [17] Originally by: Lord WarATron First of all - what was the exact name of the module? Sensor Booster I. I also tried a Prototype I Sensor Booster. If it was a different module type altogether, why would it show as boosting targeting range and scan resolution? Remote sensor booster, I ask you... sigh
Doug Shaftoe	Posted - 2007.07.07 18:26:00 - [18] Edited by: Doug Shaftoe on 07/07/2007 18:28:06 Originally by: royal killer When you put your mouse over the mod, it shows you what your stats would be with the mod online, and when u fitt it or move the mouse away, it goes back to normal, or is it something else thats happenin here? It sounds like you don't understand. When I move the mouse over the module before fitting (while it's still in my hangar and the Fitting window is open), the stats it affects get highlighted in yellow and change to what they would be if I fitted it. When I ACTUALLY fit it, the stats do not change and remain at their original values. And yes, I made sure it's online.
Doug Shaftoe	Posted - 2007.07.07 18:27:00 - [19] Originally by: Jim McGregor Hehe, you probably equipped a remote sensor booster. If it was a remote sensor booster, why on earth would it show as boosting MY targeting range and scan resolution? sigh It wasn't, anyway.

Jim McGregor	Posted - 2007.07.07 18:38:00 - [21] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 07/07/2007 18:38:07 =) Yes, its a active module. Gives you blue rings and everything. --- Originally by: CCP Wrangler You're not supposed to feel like you're logging in to a happy, happy, fluffy, fluffy lala land filled with fun and adventures, thats what hello kitty online is for.
Doug Shaftoe	Posted - 2007.07.07 18:40:00 - [22] I can't even remember what I wanted to fit it for now.
Kulmid Nubs. D-L	Posted - 2007.07.07 18:48:00 - [23] Originally by: Doug Shaftoe I can't even remember what I wanted to fit it for now. this made me lol how were you attempting to target whatever it was you were? ctrl + click or little lock icon in selected item? if it was the second one try reclicking whatever it was you were trying to target. might work, might not also, try ctrl + clicking it, that should be a simple way to bypass everything I said and make it easy to find out if it really is not working or its just a display bug. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Success is the happy feeling you get between the time you do something and the time you tell a woman what you did.

Doug Shaftoe	Posted - 2007.07.07 18:56:00 - [24] Edited by: Doug Shaftoe on 07/07/2007 18:56:23 I'm sure it's working. I had it my head it was a passive module; I never even tried to activate it. Even before I posted I was thinking "this is so wierd, if something like sensor boosters weren't working, surely loads of people would be shouting about it."
