Visibility
As the game progresses the range which your ships can detect
other ship will increase with your detect technology. If you have
the show visibility option on you will see the area of space that
each ship can scan effectively represented by a blue circle . These
include all of the hexes inside and touched by the blue circle.
If the distance between your ship and an enemy ship is less than
or equal to half the detect value then you will be able to see the
ship's characteristics as well as a red circle representing the
enemy ship's detection area.
In the picture you can see that the human ship (with detect=4)
is within two of one ship and can see its characteristics and detect
circle, and is three away from other ships, thus only able to detect
their presence.
Unless planet's are in a ship's detection area, it may change
ownership without the player knowing.
