Every drone i have seen always seems to have a sensor rating of 1.
Is there a big difference between sensor ratings?
Any one know (of hand) where i can rean the official differences?

Thanks

This is probably getting tedious, but: get Rigger 3 :)

Sensor 1 is the absolute basic, its like a camcorder, if you're really lucky
you'll get sound but.
Higher rating sensors have thermographic vision, high resolution, read uv,
ultrasound, air currents even. a drone with sensor 1 won't pick up a
radiation leak, a more specialised drone with a higher sensor rating will.
Most of the combat drones have low sensor ratings and are designed to be
supported by others, but with the Hedgehog (do you want a recon platoon the
size of a breadbasket?) coming in at somewhere around the 300,000¥ mark you
can't easily afford them as a starting character (especially as it has a
fairly huge availability IIRC).
