So the Mobile Scan Inhibitor is broken. Someone tell me how it make since that it can prevent ships sitting next to it from being seen on DScan but cannot prevent itself from being seen. Further at a cost of ~20m it serves no real use. The Mobile Scan Inhibitor should not be able to been seen on Dscan

It's not broken. It's intended to be that way.


Gameplay is more important than realism.

Confirming. The Mobile Scan Inhibitor was designed to hide everything from D-scan except itself.

The idea is that any anyone that sees a MSI will have to assume it is either a bluff (only one person is hiding with it) or it is a trap (there is a group of hostile people waiting for someone to warp to the MSI).

If you want to REALLY hide, use a cloak (which comes with its own tradeoffs).

How did you Veterans start?
