Cover mechanics, story dilemma and the next DLC

[Rei Ayanami]

As most of you should know by now, at one point in one of the CoH-DLC plots you get a ship with a special feature, namely a

cover mechanic, which disguises your ship as a Yaki ship, allowing you to fly freely next to Xenon without getting attacked.

As far as I know this ship loses this special feature once the story plot is over.
Now I am stuck : I feed I'd be stupid to actually finish the plot and lose this unique ability, however it'd also mean that I will have the plots current missions stuck in my mission manager forever and i'll never be able to finish this plot.

My question would be to Egosoft : Will we, with the next DLC (which is rumored to center around piracy) gain the ability to buy these mechanics for our ships (as a new ship software, for example), meaning I can finish my current plot without permanently losing this unique feature, or can't I, since I want to keep this technology, ever finish this plot?

the ship does not loose that cover once the story is over, I used it to scan xenons after I finished all the story

According to some posts on reddit it gets removed when the plot finishes

According to developer Gimbutz
"The cover mechanic stays on the ship if the player didn't personally

attack the Amplifier station

, since we can't punish players by taking it away if we can't be 100% sure that they meant to destroy it."

so I guess I have to find a way to get someone else to destroy it...

Still, would be neat if the cover mechanic software was purchaseable on pirate/yaki stations so we can use it on other ships and if we could activate/deactivate it manually and chose the cover faction, it would greatly help those players who want to play as a pirate or spy on enemy stations
