Ahh, yes, of course we know that ;-)

Given that NOBODY *knows* how a Grav vehicle operates, you can PSB them any
way you want. You might even claim that it produces a temporospatial
distortion that makes them undetectable while moving.

As long as your game opponent agrees :-)

I was thinking the same thing. Since anti-grav technology is just
fantasy
right now, you _can_ PSB them any way you want. You could "detect them
only with very sensitive equipment, due to their neutrino emissions from the
anti-grav generator" if that's how your universe works...

It does not imply massive signature unless a) your PSB on antigrav says it
does, and
b) your PSB is accepted by your opponent/audience

I don't think St^3 Jon has said anything about the signature generated by AG,
so, to quote an earlier post:

Grav vehicles implies anti-gravity system.  This implies a massive
signiture. If you want to have the option where they create a temporospatial
distortion, fine. But that would imply that nothing outside
could see in, and nothing inside could see out.  Or you just re-invented
Black Globes from Traveller...

If you spot them enough points, they'll agree to anything...
