Colony Scanner

Each Colony or Outpost has a scanning range within which it can detect enemy ships and fleets. The starting range is 7 light years (LY). Technology advances on the Physics branch of the Tech Tree allow increases to scanning range. Only one advance is possible. The extra detection range is useful in earlier detection of enemy attacks, to allow more time to respond effectively.

This technology takes effect immediately when researched, at all friendly bases, and does not require any construction.
