The Mobile Scan Inhibitor provides a way to hide ships within a 30 km radius from the probe and directional scanning. Ships within this radius will also find their own instruments rendered inoperable. The mobile scan inhibitor itself is not invisible, but highly visible to combat probes and directional scans. Therefore the usage of this structure does not completely hide somebody's presence. It will be very clear to others that somebody is hiding something - it is only unknown what is hidden. Even more importantly: while the ship ~~is hiding~~ inside the structure's radius its sensor systems are inoperable. Finally, it is important to note that in known space, those hidden will still be visible in local chat. Therefore its use is far more convenient for fleets operations than for lone travelers. Activation time is 1 minute and it cannot be retrieved - it is only a one-time use disposable structure. The structure self-destructs after one hour of operation.

[[Thunderdome]] has a special version of the Mobile Scan inhibitor called the Tournament Practice Unit. It has a much larger radius of 3,000 km, a lifetime of eight hours, and uniquely can be anchored right next to other inhibitors and control towers.
