Default Scanning & Cloaking

Quick question for y'all:

If a ship is cloaked against EM Active/Passive, Gravitic and Temporal (everything but Psychic) up to a level 4 scan, can a level 2 Psychic scanner see it?

Yes, if it has nothing to cloak against Psychic scans.

In fact, if the psychic cloak is not mentioned at all in the abilities list, anything that provides vision can detect it via the Psychic hole!

Uhh, wouldn't that make the cloaking ability on stealth armor useless? It only provides EM Active cloaking IIRC.

Clarification: When the ability is placed directly into the vehicle hull size.

In Gold Stealth Armor provides both active and passive EM cloaking level 2.
