It wouldn't be foolproof, but it'd take a lot more algorithmic work to deconstruct the resulting external vibrations into any useful data. | |

Make the layer 1 or 2 below that some sort of foam sponge to insulate the actual vibrations, and you could set up "ghost armies" marching around your ship conversing in Klingon for them to observe... | |

| Aug 14, 2018 at 11:55 | comment | added | user48721 | Does the hull of the space ship prevent all emissions at all frequencies from going in or out, considering that there are weapon ports, engines and such that won't be completely covered in armor? | |

| Aug 14, 2018 at 10:40 | comment | added | Blade Wraith | Faraday cage is exactly correct. the vibrations would be only a risk if the alien vessel was physically connected to the ship, although if they had tech capable of detecting that at range, might as well give up straight away, they are way to advanced to contend with. Might be worth adding that if windows exist on the ship, they should probably have shutters on them. | |
