===Locating mechs=== To fight enemies, you first need to locate them. Until you make contact (enter sensor range), you can move your mechs all at once without limits. Sensor range is 400 units by default, with spotting range at 200. Once a mech enters sensor range, you will see its silhouette and weight show up, but won't be able to make an attack until you establish line of sight (or use the Sensor Lock [[abilities|ability]]). Of course, not all mechs were manufactured equal. Combat mechs typically suffer from reduced sensor range. The [[Atlas AS7-D]], for example, has only 50% sensor range, making it vulnerable to, say, a [[Commando COM-1B]] which not only has 140% sensor range (detecting enemy mechs at 560 units), but also a +25% spotting modifier, allowing it to engage the Atlas with impunity (until it closes distance and teaches it a lesson in Inner Sphere manners).
