Sensor efficiency in Nebulae

Hi all,

How and where do I change the sensor efficiency inside a nebula?

Thanks

This is taken from the SDK for the Sig-13 Crow Nebula:
[zone
nickname = Zone_Bw05_Crow_nebula
ids_name = 261341
pos = 26, 0, -106
shape = SPHERE
size = 100000
property_flags = 32768
property_fog_color = 0.000000, 100.000000, 160.000000
visit = 32
ids_info = 66223
spacedust = attractdust
spacedust_maxparticles = 50
sort = 99
interference = 0.500000<----This bit is the scanner modifier, 0.5 means 0.5 x the scanners range
Music = zone_nebula_crow
Well, thats about it really..

Wonderful, thanks a lot!

EDIT: Ok, I tried it on the badlands, but it doesn't really seem to work. Is there anything else I should be editing?

EDIT2: I found the problem. It's actually deducing your scanner efficiency by the amount in percentages. In other words: Scanner_Effeciency = Scanner_Range - (Scanner_Range * Interferrence)
Or: Interferrence = 1 - (Scanner_Efficiency/Scanner_Range)
So to get a Scanner_Efficiency of 50m you should change the interferrence to 1 - (50/2500) = 0.98

I can tell you, 50m scanner range is quite weird...
