Overview

Radio is not only a communication tool. It can be attacked, hidden, traced or faked. A ship may broadcast a false identity, jam a mayday, encrypt private traffic or be located by its signal.

Why it matters

This creates a layer of information combat. The player can investigate broadcasts, distrust signals, track sources and think carefully about what their own ship reveals.
