Well, your ships will be seen by everybody unless you at minimum, put some scattering armor or a cloaking device on, to block the default level 1 active scans.

Is it active or passive scanning you get by default?

Unmodded stealth armor blocks both active and passive... Odd.

I was sure it was active.

In any event you'll need to research the armor tech to block it.

It' always been that way in unmodded AFAIK. Everything but mines gets passive and active scanning at level 1 by default, so otherwise, stealth armor would never work.

New Question, I just found Robe Goldberg Technology on a planet's ruins. I; unfortunatly, see nothing that this technology offers me nor is there new technology to research as a result.

Is there something I am missing?

had the same thing in my pbw game, forgot to ask - what it is, realy?

Those would be dud ruins. They appear as normal ruins, as giving a planet ruins with 0 tech levels does not cause the ruins icon to appear on them, so you know where the duds are. So, I gave SJ the idea of making dummy techs for the dud ruins, and that is the tech he decided to use. It should do absolutely nothing, as it is a dud. It creates empty ruins, which are a good thing.
