I use it all the time, for the reason you mentioned: gives you a good idea where to put sensors. Without the fog, you can get complacent and not realize there's a blind spot in your defenses.

If you like to play with 70-90 percent water planets then use this combo:
Coat your island with sensor arrays. Spaced four squares away from each other and on the coast you might catch the occasional foil who ran out of movement points in your sensor net. If an array is in a city radius, plant forests on it. At least you get something out of the square.
About midgame when you get clean reactors build what I call an O.R.P.
An Offshore Radar Platform should have a transport module, clean reactor, and deep radar. This will function perfectly as a cheap transport and as a way to enlarge your sensor net. Build a string of them four squares apart and two squares away from the coast, so you don't overlap the sensor array's land. That way you can always know what is coming within SIX squares of your island. Expand if you want. I plan to create a TEN square sensor net around my main island and two minor islands someday.

well maybe if you hadn't sent the recon noodlejet into your enemy's, i mean neighbours territory in the first place, that enemy, i mean neighbour wouldn't take advantage of the situation.

But if that noodle was in fact hanging around outside my enemy's, err..., neighbor's territory, albeit admittedly within LRR (long-range radar) range, still, what business is that of theirs?You steer your scooter in front of a flying bus, you're sure to get knocked out of the sky.
