No, it doesn't.  Hiding isn't seeking, that's the
point of scouts.

For some recon, yes, that will be a useful option. 
FOr operations involving scouting ahead of mechanized
forces, maybe not so much.

I'm actually limiting the ability of Grav in my
universe, just to prevent it from becoming too
all-powerful.	My main PSB justifaction is that it's
actually a form of MagLev, not tru anti-grav.  True
anti-grav becomes too powerful if you reall start
thinking about the implications, so it's easier to
justify putting limitations on in by making it
something slightly less Whiz-Bang.
