cloacking

[sparhawk]

Just a simple question: Can a partner see a cloacked ship of my, even if he normally can not see one (from the enemy).
And with players joined in a militaire alliance??

The plan is for an ally with a partnership treaty to "see what you can see"

So your partner, only, can see a cloaked ship, only if you have cloak penetrating sensors.

Note that his partners can "see what he can see", which includes what he can see beacuse of you. Pay attention to the treaty gird so you don't give your enemy a benefit.

There has to be a sensor in the system capable of seeing through the cloak, and I believe you need a Partnership if he has no presence in that system.

Also note that a cloaked ship cannot see itself unless it has a scanner on board!

oke, but now for another question:
I tried to find it, but wh at will detect cloacking:
Cloacking1 prevens detection for 1 em etc scan, but I couldn't find the device that gave me: detects level 1 cloacked objects (or 2 for resp. cloacking 2).
So which device or facility will detect cloacking for me???

Thanks

Tachyon Scanners, Hyper Optics, Psychic Scanners, Temporal Scanners, and Gravitic Scanners. Those names may be wrong, but you get the idea.

the problem is that advanced military science should have been 100k per level... Then Cloaking would be worth while...

Actually, the best mod would one of the Star Trek mods. The Romulans would get the cloaking device early as a racial tech, and everyone scrambles to get good enough sensors in time.

As in Adamant Mod. Except that Hyper Optics get their own, expensive tech area. Not to mention the nice 9 levels of cloaking and scanning techs.
