Re: FT3 Sensor Rules [Long]

Nice rules Schoon. 

A couple of suggestions:

What about "silent runnng" - running with engines at lower power 
(lower effective thrust, lower effective emissions) and weapons and 
firecons shut down - zero emissions?

Shouldn't this be feasible? Especially for intelligence gathering 
ships such as scouts etc (what if you just drift in with everything 
but life support and minimal CPU running - you are an asteroid - hard 
to detect much about you until people get in visual range)? And 
meanwhile passive sensors can be running, gaining system/ship
data. 

And this more accurately simulates sub warfare (trying to find the 
enemy when he's running quietly). 

What about some form of obnoxious ECM decoy that 'combined with 
silent running' could fool hostile weapons systems? Or a sensor bomb 
that temprarily blinds enemy vessels? Or even worse, might burn out 
sensitive sensors!

just some ideas.
