Not sure if this is a TacOps or StratOps question as it straddles both.
TO p.339 says "Satellite Imagers of all types have a maximum effective sensor range of 30 hexes on the Space or the High-Altitude Map. Imagers used exclusively in space to detect other spaceborne targets provide no significant impact in game play beyond identifying a unit and assessing its condition."
SO p.119 says fighters and small craft have a maximum detection range (for the purposes of a firing solution) of 14 hexes when using passive sensors.
Does this mean a small craft mounting a Satellite Imager can obtain a firing solution at 30 space hexes (with the caveat that no standard-scale weapon has a range over 25 space hexes)? Or is the imager unable to provide a firing solution at all and thus effectively useless for detecting space objects, as the unit's integral sensors can detect (but not target) at 139 hexes?
