Finally, @TNP99999, the first precise radar with both direction and ranging. @Public, This is a showcase of how a radar can be made. Works best in space but I want to shows you its downsides.

    caustic gas (caus) is pretty effective for blinding its sight in an area but i don't think i need to explain why using caus as a radar blinding gas is a bad idea

    One way to hide something is to cover it with C02

    @Admiral_Awesome, It's called a companion cube.

    move the cube, put VOID beneath it so it doesnt reflect off the ground (so you can leave the controller intact). And the radar will give its position

    And what is that heart cube for?

    A way to blind it is just to put a glass cap on it.

    @Public, you have found out ways to abuse its weaknesses, NICE. But I already got them on my list before I publish this. I expect MORT...

    @TakMashido, I do forget to upgrade the buffer size after finishing the radar, but it is quite hard to overload it unless you are jamming it with PHOTs. Anyway, I will increase its size from 8 to 20 in next update, which would come along with something else as I don't want to make small updates one by one.

    @Ben_Ger Do you mean to have collimator on the receivers? But reflected PHOT can be from any angle and that would remove useful PHOTs. The scan speed is also at its almost-optimal value because counter-intuitively, TPT cannot store small temp values with high precision so it gets worse if I further reduce the speed.
