port mountable addon that would remove the ability to be scanned or scan in return outside 1500m.

outside 1500m both parties have to use visual spotting.

Maybe. But only if the ship is completely motionless. I could see this as inline with the occlusion that already exists in game.

i can see this

Interesting - It would need to prevent the ship from showing up in the sector list etc as well.....

-1 this makes hiding spybots way too easy.

Not really. They could hide just fine, but they would not be able to do any actual spying while hidden. It would need to have a goodly cooldown period though, so that they can't just flick it off for a millisecond while they record the data and then turn it back on before anybody can notice or locate them.

Ok, so maybe function more like a ion storm as far as range and effects on sensors. So it would be more like a sensor jammer. It would affect all parties the same.

Like this it would be more functional as a deployable item like a mine.

It would be nice to make it buildable like a TU but with 24hr deployment or manu limits of some sort...

-1 because pirates can't really see your ships weapons to teĺl how weak u are, even some pirates use cargo scanners to see your cargo and shoot u.
