With different electronic systems that are throughout the universe, will there be the possibility for ship spoofing? For example, masking your own signal to represent a different ship?asked by Jagger

Yeah, definitely. We've already talked about, that ships broadcast an ID and we know that ships broadcast signatures which can be electromagnetic or heat or cross-section. So, we've also talked about the ability to hide your ID, so if you've stolen a ship you can maybe get your ID changed or spoofed. I definitely think there will be systems out there that will potentially allow you to have a signature that would look like a different kind of ship and that could be pretty useful. For instance, you could have a signature to make you look like a freighter but you're not – as a trap – or something like that.So that's the sort of stuff longer term as we flesh out the signature and scanning system that we will definitely have in the game.
