Nah JuriD, all the cloak detectors are the same in the standard game. You even forgot the third tech available to non-racial players -- gravitic sensors. All the same.
One sensor per system of level 1 penetrates the cloak provided by stealth armor. Higher levels are needed to beat the level 2 and 3 cloaking device.
I was playing P&N recently, and I forgot that second part -- ships were attacking from out of nowhere. Had to get those sats with gravitic sensors up quickly. Even then, if I was up against a human, it might not have worked.
