While running, ''Point Blank''-class vessels enjoy the benefits of being completely invisible to [[radar]]. | While running, ''Point Blank''-class vessels enjoy the benefits of being completely invisible to [[radar]]. The vessels' fusion drives are baffled, which results in the ships appearing as dark as interstellar space when they run at below 30% power.{{Ref/Reuse|GOO2}} | ||
