Battleship Targeting Spped?

How long should it take a battleship to target?

I have Gunnery 5, Gal Battleship 5, Electronics 5 and Signal Analysis 5 and it still takes me about 23 seconds. Even to target an asteroid... Most other support skills are 3 or 4. So is that normal? If not what relevant skill am I missing? I've read the skills and don't see anything else about target speed.

Signature Analysis is the only skill that increases your target speed.

You can of course use modules such as sensor boosters to help lock faster. But 23 seconds sounds about right for targeting small frigs and such. Also if you are fighting a lot of say serpentis their EWAR will make you target a lot slower.

They were small targets that took so long. Thanks for the feedback. Was wondering if I was crazy or broken or something.

It's targets signature radius vs. your sensor resolution that determines how long it takes to get a lock.
