Would it be possible to build a decoy transponder into a missile?

You would basically fire the missile at the same time as you cut off your ship transponder, cut emissions etc... and changed course.

Passives would probably still pick you up if you are close enough... Though having a decoy "warhead" which simulates EM, Thermal and IFF would be nice.

I am going to be upgrading electronic warfare in the one of the updates after version 4.0. Something along these lines would probably make a good addition at that point.
