I imagine a future with smugglers and pirates which only move during the day and generate enough smoke and water vapor during scheduled flyover to hide their journey

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can see right through vapour and smoke.
I have revised my vision to remove the ineffective cloud and it now includes a cruise ship fiberglass "kitcar" shell instead.
Your wake will get you. They are titanic signatures.

Fun fact: a significant part of the Lockheed Sea Shadow program was wake suppression.

I'm guessing following an enormous plume of smoke might not be a challenge.
or maybe they already use narco subs to avoid detection
