Default Re: PBW newbie question about cloak ship

No, that is incorrect. They do not stack. A cloaked ship hiding in a storm would get the highest level of cloaking by either the storm or the device, but not both added together. Some storms though can have higher level obscuration than the highest level sensors. At least some nebulae do , I am not positive any storms do not that I think about it.

But if you have level 3 sensors and can't see his ship on the sun, then he isn't there. He might be hiding in a storm elsewhere in the system, but you would see him if he was on the sun. You should move all the ships you can spare to protect the sun immediately. As long as he can't get to the sun, he can't blow it up.

Also note that colonizing Ruins planets can give someone unexpected leaps in tech.
