USV (UNMANNED surface vehicles) have the Mk1 Eyeball #4248

All/most USVs e.g. #3219 Expeditionary Warfare USV

Description of Problem

I've notices that many USVs (unmanned surface vessels) have the Mk1 Eyeball. I assume that the Mk1 Eyeball represents crew looking with their own eyes. By definition a USV does not have crew! I suspect that the Mk1 Eyeball is added as a sensor by default to all ships and aircraft. Some USVs can have troops on board though - this could mean some could retain the Mk1 Eyeball. This does not affect UAVs, UUVs or ROVs (as far as I can tell - I've only checked a handful) I'm not sure how much impact this is going to have on a game, but for the #3219 Expeditionary Warfare USV, the Mk1 Eyeball under certain circumstances is its longest ranged sensor.

Recommended Fix

Make a decision on whether troops on board a USV means it gains the Mk1 Eyeball. Go through all the USVs and remove the Mk1 Eyeball from all USVs or just from those without troop capacity.

You are correct. Unfortunately, this means I can't do anything about it DB-side, unless the cause is that the "ship" has the wrong type classification (i.e., not USV, etc.). Please post it as a bug on the forums so that the sim devs can fix it.
