"We need to look into doing something about our transponder codes. There are a couple of options but I'm not sure which would be best for our situation. I suggest against Masking our transponder because it is immediately apparent to everyone who detects our ship, attracting the attention of the authorities. We could also disguise our transponder codes so we appear as a different ship but there are some penalties (-5) for each disguise we have. There's also an IFF military transponder which just transmits friend of foe. If we have the proper codes for a given military unit, we can upload them to our IFF Transponder and appear as a "Friend" to its sensors. But if we don't have those codes we will need to hack into another ship to get them which takes time and it's not the easiest task (-5 use computer vs Unfriendly +10 due to encryption). What is everyone's opinion?"
