Right, but I was thinking that a lower "visible mass" would also
influence
whether the thing was detected at all.
And I forgot to mention Anti Radiation Missiles, which would home on
active
sensors.
I am trying to work out a method for two players (ie no referee) to
detect,
or fail to detect, each other's ships.	"Phantom bogey" markers might
solve
most of it, but what happens when your "sensor mirage" detects his
battlegroup?  I suppose the way to do it is compare signatures, and
whichever group has the largest signature tries to detect the smaller,
but
I haven't worked out the combinations yet.
