EngineerYou can't hide a ship out in space. They emit too much heat and radiation. Too easy for sensors to pick them up. Unless you find a way to capture those emissions.
EngineerSo our stealth systems trap the energy we give off in storage sinks built into the ship itself. No emissions to give away our location.
