Last I saw using ESS was considered goon-rodgering.

The ESS discussion took all the attention before, so i neglected to say something about the Mobile Scan Inhibitor.

I understand trying to throw in something odd, but here is the weird decision with regard to this deployable:

When active, the Mobile Scan Inhibitor will prevent the operation of both combat probes and directional scanners by or against anything within its 30km radius. The structure itself is always visible to both probes and directional scans, and is extremely easy to pinpoint using probes.

Why make it visible at all, if it is capable of hiding everything around it? This doesn't make sense, certainly not from the users perspective. Warping towards it at range will reveal everything that is there, without the users seeing any Intel themselves. This block suggests it works by nullifying all signals in its influence sphere which should make itself also undetectable.

It is probably done to counter complains that it might otherwise be too powerful, but i disagree. From a user point of view it should stay hidden, else it would have very limited application. The most logical place to use for such a structure is as a rally point or as a way to hide your presence in WH space. The first use is severely compromised by its visibility, the second one is downright nullified.

Which essentially leaves one use left. Using it in say missions or behind bubbles as a trap of some sort to catch anyone that comes to inspect it. This makes it a deplorable bait ship and an obvious one at that....in essence rendering it useless.
