How will I&W [information and warning] work in Star Citizen? Will it just automatically populate your radar with solid contacts, or will it be more interpretive, like in real life?asked by Catbill

So, I&W, of course, is referring to radar and detection. So what we're intending for the radar to do is, it's not just an on or off thing, there are levels of noise and things, and we're refining some of the smaller details of it, but what you're eventually going to see is that you will have a fuzzy image, maybe, if somebody's too far away or too small or whatever, and then as they get close enough for your particular radar, and you can buy higher-powered ones if you want them, then you will see a clearer image and be able to see exactly what you're facing.
