Questions about Sensors?

To this part of your question, the answer is yes, sort of. I tested it to be sure. I built a Sensor Array ten spaces outside my faction boundary and at least that far from any other faction. When no unit was sitting on it, it was all dark (I always have fog of war "on"). When I moved one of my units onto it, everything two squares out lit up. I high-tailed it out of there, too, because there were four Mind Worm boils heading for me . They must get particularly annoyed when the intruders mess around far outside their claimed boundaries.

Do you get the sensor bonus? Or do you have to put someone (infantry probe, best armor) on it?

I haven't been able to check this yet. Does anyone else already know?

From what I remember, it doesn't work to build a sensor on an island that isn't your territory cause of a land base.
