   > Excellent point.  My biggest concern with even that form of stealth is that   
   there are bound to be far more sensor installations for prospecting for metal   
   (or possibly salvage) than military.  How does a cold running battleship fend   
   off a swarm of hull-   
   cutting salvage drones and remain cold?   
      
   FUN!! ... But unlikely. For efficiency, the prospectors will be independent of   
   the miners (etc). Salvage is not particularly profitable, so the prospectors   
   will be targetting larger asteroids and other astronomical bodies first. Most   
   of these will    
   probably be rovers, dedicated to a single body until that body has been   
   completely surveyed. Also, you don't want to build so many surveyors   
   (prospectors) that the cost starts cutting into profits, so you will only   
   build as many as required to keep the    
   miners busy... and you will only build as many miners as necessary to keep up   
   with demand (plus a modest reserve for growth).
