Sensor range limit?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I read something here about building a ship and packing it with sensors to see the whole map revealed. So i build a huge hulled ship full with sensors, but it did not have the sensor range shown but only the range, that my other ships had. I have already developed eyes of the universe, does that somehow influence max sensor range as well? Is it intentional or a bug?

There is an intentional sensor limit cap at 15 pc, no matter how many modules you add. I usually don't bother with sensor ships after I get eyes of the universe.

This one threw me for quite a while; I kept thinking I was putting on so many sensor pods that I broke something.

The limit really irritated me for a while, but now I'm glad I can't build a Supersensor Ship that would cost a good chunk and be vulnerable when I forgot to check if it was in range of enemy combatants. Eyes of the Universe combined with reassigned older, smaller hulls can do a pretty good job of establishing a huge sensor grid.

Thats usually what I do with my older survey ships: turn them into a border detection grid. Give them a 15 pc sensor range and park them outside your border or at an enemies' border to warn of inbound threats.
