Advanced hyperspace trail masking

Syntax:
trailmask
Skill used: advanced hyperspace trail masking
Usable by: Pilot (level 21)

High Mortal pilots are able to program the hyperspace system of a ship to modulate its hyperspace signature. This modified signature confuses telemetry analysis systems of other ships, returning either a false trail, or one so confusing any analysis system will be unable to determine the real course.

The command will toggle the trailmasking protocol on or off, and depending on how skilled the pilot is, it will automatically be triggered during a hyperspace jump.
