Transmission Resolver
General Information
The most expensive facility in the game (but worth every penny), the Transmission Resolver not only picks up any USO within its detection range, but informs you of the type, mission, and race onboard. Resolvers can only be built after you have captured an Alien Navigator.
The Standard and Wide Array Sonars have a percentage chance of detecting any in-range USOs with each sweep, but the Transmission Resolver will detect any USO within its range as soon as possible. Once a this facility is constructed, all other sonar systems housed in the same base become unnecessary and can be dismantled.
Although the actual detection range is unknown, it is the ultimate tool for UFO Detection. It adds one unit to your base's "Long Range Detection" meter, although that statistic is meaningless. Clearly there is no need for building more than one in any given base, even if there was it is likely that it would have no effect, as per the Sonar systems.
This base facility appears in Terror from the Deep. For the UFO: Enemy Unknown equivalent, refer to the Hyper-wave Decoder.
