I will type quickly before some one beats me to it.

There are three levels of cloaks available and 4 grades of sensors.
Grade 1 default from begining of game
Grade 2 sensor detects level 1 cloaks in system.
Grade 3 sensor detects level 1 and 2.
Grade 4 etc...
Mines are level 5 cloak by default.
Storms have different cloak levels.

Stealth armor is level 1. It also gives a +15 ECM which is its greatest asset. It is also good as armor, but costly.

To operate stealth use the icons on the tool bar. I'm not sure about the latest revision, but the mine sweepers don't work when cloaked. Ships can't be retrofited when cloaked.

Scattering armor prevents internal scans of componants, which is next to useless. It also gives a +15 ECM which is its greatest asset. It is also good as armor, but costly.

Both armors used together give a +30 ECM.
