Honestly for me it's that whole First Law thing. It's one of the big fundamentals. I'm sure there will be a lot of research into making things harder to see, but the typical star trek-esque cloaking fields that come to mind when people start mentioning stealth in space(to me, at least) generally seem(again, to me) to be handwaving the First Law, which you just can't do. I think most research into stealth is going to be with reducing the power requirements of combat craft. Computer controlled ambushers, a la the AKVs of THS. The easiest way to lower power requirements of combat craft is to make it so they don't need to lug around life support systems, IMO.
