I agree, though, that Scattering Armor is crap.
not at all. late in the game, everyone will have sensors that can easily detect ships with stealth armor, so it loses its value quickly. think of scatt armor as armor plus scanner jammer. I put a scanner jammer on every ship, and when you figure that every ship needs armor too, one piece of armor and one scanner jammer is only 10 units smaller than the scatt armor, AND the scatt gives you the defensive bonus.
its definitly worth carying one point of scatt if your enemies already have scanning devices that can detect level2 cloaks.
