First look at EMDAR console

Design concepts are emerging for EMDAR consoles - at this stage the training variants. These are simplified versions of the consoles expected to be seen on the bridge, but will provide the crew with hands-on simulator training and provide valuable feedback for systems and procedure design.

EMDAR operating procedures can be seen here with console design schematics attached at the bottom (or you can go directly to the drawings here).

EMDAR Overview

The team has jost posted an overview of EMDAR (Electro-Magnetic Direction and Ranging) which is how the ship will see what is around it in space.

This provides a bit more detail on the detection section of the Combat Overview article, whch suggested deep-space combat would likely favour the side that could detect their opponent first while avoiding detection themselves.

Combat Overview

Amongst the tactical reference material that has started appearing on LIAIS is a Combat Overview article which outlines what combat is likely to look like when we get to deep space.

You can read it here: http://crew.isdc.network/liais/tactical/combat-overview-601

I contributed to the article but I think there are some debatable points made. I believe we'll really only get idea of how combat ops will go once simulation runs start (that shouldn't be far away!).
