Just a quick note now. Stealth is a hull modification. It takes away
structural strength (weak hull) and in return makes lock-on more
difficult
for the enemy. (1/4 range band reduction for stealth 1, 1/3 for stealth
2.
Cost/mass is the same as for partial/full streamlining). PSB is a hull
design that defeats sensor detection.

Fighters are abtracted differently. The stealth hull gives them smaller
sensor signature, adn are harder to hit, giving them the equivalent of
screen protection vs. PDS. Stealth 1 fighters are identical to heavy
fighters in effect, just differnet PSB. Stealth 2, as Indy knows well,
are
screen 2 equivalent.

As for lopsided firing arcs, this is certainly a plausible design if you
take the FB roll-ship maneuver into account. If you know a force is
trying
to blind side you, you can flip and blastem.

I'l be happy to share designs and thoughts.

Noam
