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?

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.

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

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?
