Yes, but researching it is more expensive than the armor itself. And the tech you'd research is not otehrwise an obvious choice (e.g. gravitic sensors). Plus, the guys who puts Stealth Armor on his ships does not lose anything - I'd put it on my ships even if it didn't have the stealth ability, because of it's other advantages!
Please gat me right, I don't think Stealth Armor is a game breaker
I'm simply saying it's unbalancing... other strategies don't hold against it, you HAVE to do it...
