When building a new base, it would be useful to see the
radar-coverage of the existing bases,
and a circle around the cursor indicating the radar-
coverage of the new base.

Maybe in different colors for real (already built) and
potential (not yet built) radar-coverage, and for
different types of radar (or 2 rings, if a second radar
increases the range).

I have no idea how radar coverage is implemented, but:
radar coverage could be an extra b&w layer in the
planetscape. That could account for keeping track of many
radars with different range, distance-dependent efficiency
and position in the map.
The ufo detection algorithm could use this same map too.

In RC6, the radar-range of the first base is shown,
but only _after_ it is built.

It would be nice to see the this coverage before building,
and also the potential range of bases (i.e. when the
radar-building is not yet built/finished).

should be in current trunk already - if not - please reopen
