Well, you'd have to ask a ship designer to be sure, but I think if you make the small Version of the ship as an empty black square (i.e. don't really draw anything) then the ship will be invisible on the game screen. Then the only time you could find it is if you clicked on the sector the ship was in, then it would show up in the ship info panel. The ship would also appear if it was over a planet or warppoint. If you also (as geo mentioned) made the empire flag all black then the ship would even not be visible in these instances and then the only way to find it was to randomly click in sectors to try and locate it. As a player, once you discovered someone was doing this to you, you could either (a) remove that shipset from your computer then the game would use a random ship picture so you could see it. or (b) go edit the shipset and put red boxes or something in each picture to make them visible.
