Veil
Veil: Degrades what anyone's telescope can read about you.
How to use it
Degrades what anyone's telescope can read about you.
A stronger Veil defeats stronger Telescope readings and reduces equal-Shipyard probe accuracy. It hides your state; it does not invent false data or block an incoming probe.
Requirements & connections
Requires a local Command Core supporting the level being installed. It does not require Uplink.
Installation uses this planet’s Construction queue and Store resources, but no orbit slot. Instruments provide different functions: warnings, remote observation, shielding or concealment. Choose the function you need; one does not replace the others.
