Hiding in space can be hard, but it makes for interesting stories.
The following stealth levels are possible:
| Stealth | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard | Reduced emissions, can be retrofitted, but no built from the ground up. |
| Good | Ship has been designed to be stealthy. A major refit may get to this level. |
| Excellent | Only ships designed from the start to be stealthy can get excellent stealth. |
| Fantastic | Truly stealthy ships, very poor at everything else. |
Stealth reduces the effective size of the ship by the following amounts.
| TL | Standard | Good | Excellent | Fantastic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 |
| 10 | -2 | -4 | -6 | -8 |
| 11 | -3 | -6 | -9 | -12 |
| 12 | -4 | -8 | -12 | -16 |
