Signature Radius


Overview

Signature radius is how EVE measures the 'size' of your ship. It determines three very important things:

  • How quickly ships can lock on to you
  • How easy you are to locate with combat probes
  • How easy you are to hit with guns and drones
  • The larger your signature radius, the bigger your ship. A large sig radius means you are locked onto more quickly and are easier to hit. A capsule has a sig radius of only 25m, meaning it is pretty hard to hit and you lock it slowly. A titan has a massive sig radius of over 10km, meaning you probably won't miss at all (at least not because of sig radius) and you can lock on near instantly.
