Adds a new radar unlockable with green science.
I found that RSO Radar was well balanced, but since there is no good version of this for .14, and because I wanted the flexibility to place ordinary radars as well as enhanced ones, I made this mod which adds a new Advanced Radar with the same attributes as in RSO Radar.
The Advanced Radar is unlocked by its own research, prerequisites are millitary 2 and electronics. Graphics are re-used from the vanilla radar.
Advanced Radar has a continuous scan range of 6 chunks (13x13 chunk area) and an exploration range of 28 chunks (57x57 chunk area). Correspondingly it scans four times as fast and consumes four times as much power. Effectively, one Advanced Radar can scan the same area in the same time and for the same power as four appropriately placed vanilla radars.
