How about decoy drones!
Not sure what ships should have them, maybe ones without scouts or something..
anyway, basic principle would be that you can launch a decoy drone, which in the event that there was a scout drone in the same sector would say that you had left.
Mainly this would be an interesting feature that might add some excitment for both traders and hunters alike.
Cost for these drones would have to be high, and not sure again what ships would carry them... hell maybe you could even make it a specific races technology... like alaskant
anyway, just another one of my crazy ideas....

Re: Another Crazy idea ;)
Requires discussion.
Re: Decoy Drones
I'm all for adding in misleading technology, but I'm not sure how these would fit in, who would carry them, and what purpose they would actually serve. Would you be able to drop them to draw fire from an enemy ship (chaff)? Would they look like CD's but explode like mines? Do they serve any purpose other than to bolster the sector scan?

Re: Decoy Drones
Not sure the who/what.
But the basic principle would be you would launch one from your ship and have a % chance of any scouts IS with you saying you had left the sector even if you hadnt... least i think that was the idea behind it...
