Starbase Protection Fields Question

from Stardock Forums
The Protection Field module for a starbase says that it protects ships in the "area." The Battle Sttaions attack assist modules say that they assist ships in the "sector." Is there a distinction bewteen the range of an "area" vs "sector" effect?
Does anyone know whether the protection field gives a benefit to ships throughout the sector as well or is it a lesser area. if the latter does anyone know how far the effects extend? This may be explained somewhere but I could not find it.

Thanks

Hmm. I distinctly recall posting in this thread earlier today. Oh well, I guess the 'net ate my post.

There's no difference between "sector" and "area". The both refer to the sector (the 12x12 grid area) that the SB is in. All SB modules affect the sector it's located in, no more or less.
