Scan Resolution vs Signature Radius

There's a calculator at the end that should be accurate through the full practical range. I have the skill to control pos guns, and in my experience there is no difference in lock times for pos guns vs player ships (you get a targeting bar when controlling pos guns too).

There is a hard cap of 180 seconds for any targeting.

I made a table of lock times for current pos structures, and the ones as they currently are on test server with new scan resolutions.

POS Structure Target Times

The columns are increasing signature radius from 25 - 1000. The first set of 3 is current pos structures, the bottom part is structures as they are on sisi right now.

As with everything on sisi, these numbers may not be final. It seems dampener batteries are the only ones that didn't get a boost which I'm guessing is unintentional.

Also, faction pos structures have actually had their lock time nerfed on sisi, reduced from +50%/+100% scan res to +10%/+20%, so for example domination small artillery batteries which are currently 500mm scan res on tranq, are now 300mm scan res on sisi.

This table uses the current best known targeting time formula as found in the thread I linked above. A simple calculator using that formula can be found here.

Edit: I forgot the mention, actual targeting time is capped at 180 seconds, the table I posted does not take that into account.
