Umm, perhaps. Seems that long base telescopes and stadio-metric 
ranging systems would be used at some point in engagements more often 
than not. Especialyl given there is no horizon to speak of. What is 
an MU? Is a ship visible at 12 MU? The Shuttle is observable from 
ground with telescopes that will track. So are other spacecraft. 
Seems to me a low observable color would make more sense.

Afterall, If I can plot a firing solution visually before you acquire 
me with radar, then I may just get a nice first salvo off.
