I am not sure if this question has been brought up before or not...
If a fighter/ship is 10,000 clicks from another fighter/ship, would it be able to identify its transponder whether it is Kilrathi, Confed, Border Worlds or some other independent ship?
Once example is that from WC - Kilrathi Saga Manual it discussed the Shelton Slide Maneuver is best done from 3000-3500 clicks. At this distance the fighters/ship would be easily identified.
But what about 5,6,7 or even at 10,000 clicks?
I am possibly certain that a fighter sensor package might pick up their signal but not be able to identify it from a large distance.
Capital ships maynot have a problem but fighter size ships I am more curious about.
Any info would greatly be appreciated...cheers
