More Sensor Goodies!
Multifunction Phased Arrays: Integrated networks of emitters and sensors imbedded directly within the hull matrix itself. Each array includes sensors, phaser emitters, navigational deflector emitters, deflector screen emitters, and tractor beam emitters. Each array can take a significant amount of damage before performance is noticeably diminished.<p>Spacedock Stats: I'm thinking 3 x SU for the arrays. I still need to work out the effects.
<p>Phase-Inverting Multi-band Emission Suppression System (PIMESS):
This system is a variation of an electronic warfare technique developed in the early 21st century. The PIMESS detects active sensing, both electromagnetic and subspace, and immediately narrowcasts a phase-inverted signal of the same type and frequency. The reflected signal and the narrowcast signal are 180 degrees out of phase, and thus cancel each other out.<p>PIMESS is not particularly useful unless used in conjunction with holographic hull projectors.<p>Spacedock Stats:I'll probably design it as an enhanced version of an energy sheath.<p>Emissions Tracking System(ETS): Emissions Tracking units are dedicated sensor units, designed to detect and trace the emissions of other craft (such as warp trails, impulse emissions, etc). Once detected, the ETS locates and locks onto the source of these emissions, providing an improved sensor lock when used with traditional systems. The system allows limited cloak detection against under-rated or damaged cloaking systems, but is useless against intact cloaking devices. This only provides detection, not a way to de-cloak the craft.<p>Spacedock Stats: Probably treat as a specialized system that gives a bonus to sensor tests for detecting spacecraft.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.
