Maybe, I've been think that perhaps the MASS of level 3 stealth should
be increased to 20%-25% or so? - or drop it, and have the Blind Field
and Mimbari Jammers using Level 2 Stealth mechanics.

A completely alternate way of handling stealth would be to extend the
Holofield mechanic thus:

Level 1 Stealth = Holofield
Level 2 Stealth = Level-2 screen vs. all beam dice weapons, -2 to hit
for K-guns, Pulse Torpedoes, & Pods, etc.
No level 3

Which is a system that has already been discussed on the list :-)
