Default Re: cloacking

In the unmodded game, all scanners have hte same effects. Cloaking Devices have an equal level of cloaking in all areas. Stealth Armor only hides ships from the basic level 1 EM Active (or is it Passive?) that all ships have built in.

Stealth Armor gives level 1 EM Active and level 1 EM Passive cloaking. That's about the only benefit to researching one of the other techs. Tachyon Sensors (EM Active, Sensors tech area) is the most expensive; Hyper Optics is the least expensive to research (EM Passive, Adv. Mil. Sci. tech area).

Isn't there any mod that makes the cloacking thing a bit more fair??? I mean Hyper optics is very cheap compared to the other gravitic/tachyon sensors.
It would be nice if the Hyper Optics could only go to level 1, so only are able to detect stealth-armor-cloacked ships, while for the REAL cloaking devices one should research the more expensive gravitic or tachyon sensors.
Now the cloaking devices are worthless.

Many mods add interest to the cloaking types and levels. Off the top of my head, you should try Suicide Junkie's Pirates and Nomads mod.
