So, I am not a total noob, but I bought a Grasshopper 5P and noticed this vertical blue bar, just to the right of the minimap. What is this, and is it something I should be using?

Cool Shot

Thank you Kurbeks, of course you are absolutely correct...

- I found this out shortly after I posted the question - never used coolshot before, and to be honest it is not very well documented that this will appear in the HUD if you have that module installed. I am sure it is in there somewhere, but it is not very obvious.

What is that blue rectangle with the radar plot inside.

That would be the Sensor Range buff induced by a nearby friendly Cyclops Mech.

This icon?


Tacticon B-2000 Battle Computer is hardwired in all Cyclops BattleMechs.

It adds +100 metres of the sensor range to all friendly 'Mechs within 200 metres of that Cyclops.

The next time when it happens, look around. You will see a friendly Cyclops nearby.

Does multiple Cyclops mechs give your Team extra stackable/additive boost of multiples of +100m sensor range per mech?

Or just one Cyclops mech (or all 12 member Team all running Cyclops) still yield only the +100m sensor range benefit?
