Description
Splitting them with separate values, with a suggested default of 'ring' sensors being 2x the long range, with the pointers setup to be able to set them manually. The ring sensors are one of the more nuanced and interesting parts of Science, and being able to seperate and buff them both would probably be good.
For ex, the .longRadarRange would be 25, and the .RingRadarRange would be (getLongRadarRange(ship)*2) or similar. With the ability to manually set .RingRadarRange to any arbitrary value. (don't take these varnames or code literally please, they're just un-bad enough to get the concept across.)

Research direction
Start by locating the existing long-range and ring-sensor range definitions and the code that reads them. Determine how separate configurable values and a default relationship could fit the current sensor model; done means ring and long-range values can be set independently while preserving the proposed default behavior.
