Several questions, not covered by Item descritption, nor blog, nor help:

1. how does "locking someone" affect my signal masking value?
   - I heard it has an effect, but its nowhere documented
   - if not, its a missing feature
   - If you're locked you can see the enemy locking you no matter their range. (You can see each other if one side locks the other
   - Interesting point is you can not be seen while locking, only while locked. This makes you able to run a sneak tackle without a sensor amp.

2. why is the "only one module per bot allowed" not in the item description?
   - This isn't documented but they are unique modules.
   - You can fit more than one actually and on tackle its not always a bad idea

3. how strong is the effect of interference on signal masking?
   sorry, don't have a big enough corp by the hand to test that myself, nor can i afford to buy that module just for that test
   - No effect on masking. Only effects detection. Maximum is a 50% reduction

4. how does it affect NPCs aggro range?
   - They still seem to aggro at their old ranges depending which roboy. Masking doesn't seem to effect this but NPC's are NPC's. They are made by Hungarians. They could do ANYTHING..

5. what are the signal masking values for Teleport beacon, Interference drone, field container.
   All items have 100/100 meaning that they're like seeing assaults from whichever robot.

6. can we have a signal masking bonus during syndicate protection + "molecular instability"?
   I can see why you might want this. Syndicate protection could give a 50% increase to masking for added stealth but it won't change anything in the long run.

7. not so serious question: why didn't you give industrial mechs a "glow" effect ?
   they are like shining beacons on the radar now.
   The Lithus has headlights. Is this not good enough?
