The DSII FAQ answer was taken from an archive which seemed to show only this
reply: "Yes [to using the effective signature], since a slam is just another
direct fire weapon that uses a firecon to aim." That answer seemed reasonable
as it made all direct fire weapons have the same procedure for firing.

I'll put both answers in the DSII FAQ and let players decide for themselves. A
more effective solution is to consider what stealth means. If you regard
stealth as camouflage and systems like the US stealth bomber, cruiser and
fighter have, then Jon Tuffley's answer is best. If you regard stealth as more
of an efficiency improvement, packing more systems into less space so reducing
vehicle size, then the other answer is best.
