Intent: To create something that can either shrink or grow the sensor reading of the host ship and from a even further distance can make sensor readings thing the fleet is larger than it is.
Development Thread: Will do one if needed
Manufacturer:Baktoid Fleet Ordnance
Model: XR-22
Affiliation: None
Modularity: Can be placed in any ship of at least 500m or larger
Production: Mass Produced
Material: Circuits, Wiring,etc
Description: The XR-22 Sensor Distortion Array is actually comprised of two systems. The first is a Sensor Dampener that uses a combination of active and passive systems to reduce the electronic and electromagnetic signature of the ship. Heat sinks, electrostatic insulation, and degaussing techniques passively reduce the signature radius of the ship while active technologies diffuse the remaining signature of the ship into the background noise of space.
The second system involved in the Sensor Distortion Array is the Signature Amplifier. Powerful electromagnets, sensor boosters, comm relays, and white noise generators work in tandem to drastically increase the amount of detectable magnetic, electronic, radiation, and wavelengths the ship produces.
The end result is that a ship equipped with this array is capable of appearing up to two sizes larger or smaller than it actually is. Such as a frigate choosing to appear as a Light Freighter or as a Heavy Cruiser on sensors. And while a Crystal Gravfield Trap is capable of seeing through the deception by detecting the gravity distortion of the ship in accordance with its size and mass, if the ship is also equipped with a Gravitic Modulator it can fool these sensors as well.
