Mass Detectors are extremely useful sensor systems that perform a dual purpose mission. The detection of enemy starships is of paramount importance, and it is very difficult for them to hide their very mass from the prying eyes of a MDS. Additionally, enemy weapons systems that rely upon Gravitonic effects can be countered somewhat should their mass-distorting properties be detected early enough. Mass Detector Sensors are more sensors than defensive systems, but they do come in handy for both purposes.
