Unless I'm missing something, that would mean that a Gravitic Cloaking device would only be effective against Gravitic Sensors, right?
Hmm...its a pity to have to give up on the whole idea tho. Couldn't you achieve the desired effect by giving a cloaking device the max levels of every OTHER cloaking method?

For example...give a Gravitic Cloaking Jobber level 100 passive em, active em, temporal, etc...but only level 4 gravitic so that it can only be detected by gravitic scans?

Just wondering

Then you just use two of them and can not be detected by ANY scanners... Just give level 2 cloaking ability in every area as a minimum.
