Stealth/RAM coatings for ships
I was muddling over this in my head last night, and thought I would post it.
The idea is simple: A ship could be coated with a film/paint that would reduce the range at which it shows up on radar, but at the expense of a minor increase in dmg received (5-10%, for example), or a small loss of armor (depending on the kind of tech you might decide to use).
Example:
Player A has had this coating/armor installed on their ship, which keeps them from showing up on radar (or the sensor log) until closer to the detecting vessel. If the detecting vessel's radar reaches 10km (for easier math), this coating woud mean this vessel would show up at 9km instead.
This would be a permanent part of a ship, and would disappear when said ship was destoryed.
