Variable Masslock

Ships has shorter masslock radius based on mass.

 Ship name	Mass	Masslock radius (r=mass*0.02+17000)
 Adder  	16 t	17 km
 Gecko  	25 t	17.5 km
 Sidewinder	25 t	17.5 km
 Viper  	34 t	17.7 km
 Mamba  	36 t	17.7 km
 Moray  	51 t	18 km
 Cobra Mk I	52 t	18 km
 Fer-de-Lance	53 t	18 km
 Asp    	76 t	18.5 km
 Krait  	93 t	19 km
 Boa    	182 t	20.5 km
 Cobra Mk III	215 t	21 km
 Boa2   	216 t	21 km
 Python 	267 t	22 km
 Anaconda	438 t	26 km

You can't use Tours drive in combat situations due to red alert, regardless of these distances.

Torus will turn off when a new ship arrive into scanner range but you can engange it again until your alert level is green.

Ships over masslock range marked with darker yellow lollipop in green alert.


Torus will turn off when there are an asteroid, buoy, cargo box or mine in collision course to slow down in time and prevent impact.

/* http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Shipdata.plist#scan_class

Will alter the model's appearance on the IFF system. If this line is omitted, it will usually become by default a standard ship entity (CLASS_NEUTRAL), appearing as a yellow flag on the radar (red if hostile to the player), but may be given a different scan class if added with other roles. There are other options.

!   CLASS_BUOY - green/yellow on scanner, will rotate in idle state, does not masslock
!   CLASS_CARGO - white on scanner, can be scooped, does not masslock
    CLASS_MILITARY - purple on scanner, better pilots, will not attack other military ships, flashes purple/magenta if hostile to player
    CLASS_MISSILE - cyan on scanner, will not avoid collisions
    CLASS_POLICE - purple on scanner, will not attack other police ships, legal penalties for attacking, never has bounty, flashes purple/magenta if hostile to player
!   CLASS_ROCK - white on scanner, launched defense ships do not inherit scan class, does not masslock
    CLASS_STATION - green on scanner, launched defense ships do not inherit scan class
    CLASS_THARGOID - green/red on scanner, considered hostile to any non-thargoid ship
!   CLASS_NO_DRAW - invisible on scanner, cannot be targeted by missiles, does not masslock
!   CLASS_MINE - red/yellow on scanner, automatically set on mines launched by player to override existing scan class, does not masslock 

(This property was called "scanClass" before Oolite 1.74.) Scan classes marked as "does not masslock" will masslock the player anyway if they are hostile to the player (as condition will be Red)

Scripts can define custom colours for ships on the IFF system so ships may have a scanner appearance different to the default for their scan class.

Example:

"scan_class" = "CLASS_ROCK";

Developer Note

Oolite uses scan_class internally to determine the behaviour of some ships (particularly with regard to who may shoot whom without incurring legal penalties). Bear this in mind and don't allocate CLASS_POLICE or CLASS_THARGOID to ships lightly!
