The lookout command allows ships to report sightings
of other ships and land sectors.
The various ranges over which lookout is effective
break down into two groups:
SHIP to SHIP
This range is dependent on both the visibility of the ship
being observed and the visual range of the observing ship.
(see info Ship-types)
Submarines at sea are a special case - they cannot be seen by simply looking
out from a ship! In order to detect subs at sea, you need to use sonar.
Submarines have a very limited range for what ships they
can see using their periscope--they can usually only see ships in the
same sector. However, all ships (including subs) which are docked in
a harbour are visible to all ships (including subs) in adjacent sectors.
(see also info sonar)
SHIP to SHIP
This range is effectively 1.0.
For example:
[##:##] lookout 24
