Re: Passive vs. Active Scanners
			 
             
			
		
		
		
		Just an opinion: 
 
Someone should make a mod to make: 
 
Asteroids give protection for Passive 
Storms give Protection for Active 
 
Since Passive sonar just sends out a weak ping at all directions: the same principle could be used here and sends out weak pulses of some substance to detect ships without having to do intricate scans; and an asteroid field could give cover for the passive scans as a ship could pose as an asteroid or hide behind an asteroid from the Passive scanner's *Line of Sight*. 
 
Active sonar keeps circling, but focuses on a specific viewpoint, and storms should have the scientific reasons to mess with an active scanner. 
 
I'd do it, but I don't have any modding experience.
