How come there aren't any skills to reduce your signature radius? Is it because of a balance issue, or they just never thought to implement them?

Actually there are:

* Interceptors
* Shield Rigging
* Skirmish Warfare - Skirmish Warfare Specialist (for Skirmish Warfare Link - Evasive Maneuvers)

Not for modules, I mean a skill that reduces sig radius on your ships like how navigation gives all your ships a bonus to speed.

A skill & rig combination would be interesting.

For example, Rig A reduces signature by X% at penalty to Y%

Each level in appropriate skill reduces Y% by 10%

RSD increase lock time for a ship, which effectively reduces your sig radius to that ship. Just a thought.

As to the op no there isn't such as skill and yes it is due to balance.

no they dont...
sig is most important for tracking, which damps don't affect.

If you're willing to dabble in drugs, there's also the X-Instinct booster. Synth variants (legal everywhere) will drop your signature radius by 3% for half an hour. More powerful variants will give you better signature reduction, but are subject to confiscation by customs in hi-sec, and have greater chances of side effects such as crippling your armor or shield buffer or your missile range or turret falloff.

This...standard x-instinct is great for reducing sig. Get your booster skills and eat these like candy. There are great prices in minmatar space trade hubs, and low sec that I know nothing about...
