Can you give us hints about stealth gameplay? Will we be able to spy on players, fleets, and guilds?asked by Felier

I don't know about spying, but as far as stealth, it's just like we were talking about with the fuel efficiency. Some parts are designed to have less of a signature. Some parts are designed to just max out their output, so they are going to show up right on the radar. So stealth isn't really about hiding and cloaking. It's about keeping your signature down.

So you're sort of less noticeable by others. Now, will we handle that on the server side? If your profile is lower, will there be less chance for you to be pulled into a PvP event because of that, I wonder?
Rob IrvingLead Designer
Maybe. I don't know. Maybe they just don't see you for longer, so you can sneak up.
