Repeatable techs that enhance radar sector scan range and scan speed would be helpful for very late game megabases where we're trying to discover new resources - especially on rail worlds. Double especially on rail worlds with lots of water.

Arguably, it already exists in vanilla.

(the range of artillery is infinitely upgradable)


This mod does pretty much what you describe and a bit more in the same spirit :

This one has an other take on the issue which I personnally prefer :

This one is a simplistic addition of a new radar with greater range :

I also think that the vanila radar is too small for bigger projects and should be at least upgradable with mk2/3 like so many other things in the game. The infinit reseach would be the best practice and the easiest way to achive that.

I like Big_Brother even if i dont know why every power pole should give me vision. The idea that the trains give at least vision around them is lovly.
