Ideas for improving deception based RP/gameplay

[Croft]

Instead of the consensual scanning why not have a bit of kit that grants a high chance, around 80%, that scans will show up empty for a limited time. By empty I mean only the ship's name and infocard, no weapons, attached items or cargo will be displayed.
To balance it out I'd suggest it takes up a CM slot just so it doesn't become standard kit for everyone.

Having two ID's is open for massive abuse and waiting 20 seconds to scan someone would bore anyone to death. I can tell you from experience playing as police, scanning the TLAGs is almost 90% of what you do, adding more time scanning wouldn't add gameplay it'd probably be the final nail for the already unpopular police factions. Not to mention the effect it would have on piracy.
