+A spacecraft's [[shattered:design:basic equipment]] includes standard navigational sensors and communications equipment.  However, for military or scientific vessels, this won't be enough.  Most warships will install one or two slots in additional electronics, and ships with a flag bridge will often invest one more.
 Each slot assigned to advanced electronics will grant an electronics bonus pool equal to the ship's [[shattered:design:displacement#Linear Value]].  Round down //after// multiplying Linear Value by the slot count, to make sure you get the most out of your fractions!

 **Tight-beam communications** allows the ship to communicate securely with //one// other ship.  Flagships will need four or more points invested to allow them to partake in divisional or squadron command.
-**Long-range communications** allows the ship to communicate across an entire system.  Because of light-speed lag, however, this is treated more like e-mail than a telephone call!

 ===== Special Sensors =====
 Typically used by scientific or specialized military vessels, Special Sensors provide capabilities not covered by other categories. Specific benefits or types of Special Sensors should be defined based on the specific role of the ship.
