Another ambiguity in the rules.

The way it works is scanner tech level beats equivalent cloaking tech level - and a level x cloak prevents a level x scan.

So cloaking 1 and stealth armor prevent scan level 1 and they are cloaked to a non scannered ship which can only scan at level 1.

As you get tech

Scan level of a scanner is Tech Level of scanner + 1.

So For instance Tachyon Scanner at Tech Level 1 allows active scanning at level 2.

Scan level prevention of cloak is Tech Level of cloak.

Scanner 1 i.e. tachyon, hyperoptics, graviton, et. al. (all functionally the same btw) start at scanning level 2 thus defeating stealth armor and level 1 cloak which only stop scanning level 1.

So at the highest tech level cloaking 3 stops up to level 3 scans and tech level scanner 3 et.al. scan at level 4.
