This is a relatively simple idea. A sensor boost pod useable on any mech. as per the BAP ( as i understand it ) If an ecm mech installs bap the only benefit it gains is the % sensor range increase & ability to detect powered down mechs (which is nearly pointless). Many mechs could use a item which boosts sensor range only. weighs only .5-1 ton & occupies only 1 crit slot, same price as BAP. Especially needed on crit slot scarce mechs which equipping a BAP to gain the sensor range boost for the 2 crit slots. This would almost be an essential item on all recon mechs whom without proper situational awareness of the enemy, they are toast. I suggested a differing nightvision boost module in another post. this goes along the same train of though. Not new ideas but rather adaptations of existing ones.

Have a great day

I've to say though we have UAV's which are pretty similar ideas, though in a form of a module instead of equipment on mech.

There is already an advanced sensor range module that increases range by 25%. why need something else as well? There is also as mentioned the UAV module. I do like the idea of extended night vision module, however I personally would never equip it as I dont know when I'll get a night map
