1) Anyone know what the default target data collection time is? In other words, how long does it take to gather enemy 'mech information without modules, targeting computers etc.

2) Also, does the Target info gathering module stack with the targeting comps?

3) Do targeting comps. stack with BAP?

2) & 3) I thought they did.

It's dependant on range. Further away, longer it takes.

They all stack. Gather 100+%, and you get instant paperdoll info from over a KM away.

Why does CAP not have a percent bonus like TCs and BAP. I have tested, and it appears to work as stated, but it just seems funky with the wording saying one thing and the bonuses not showing up.

I think it's 3, 5 and 7 seconds depending on range but I can't remember the distance values.

I have this vague recollection that ECM also factors into the equation even if being cancelled.

I did some testing with the Target info gathering and Beagle active probe modules.

Overall

TIG - 25% reduction at 0-499 (as expected) and 29% at 500+
BAP - 29% reduction at 0-499 and 31% reduction at 500+
TIG and BAP - 83% and 89%


Here are the times to get enemy info (in seconds):


Default

0-499: 3.30
500+: 5.30


TIG

0-499: 2.65
500+: 4.12

BAP

0-499: 2.56
500+: 4.06


TIG & BAP

0-499: 1.80
500+: 2.80

*All testing was done in a Spider 5D. Times represent the average of 3 attempts.

Be the best scout mech with Command Console, BAP, Advanced Sensor Module, and Targeting Info Gathering Module. TAG optional.
