Satellite Cloaking

[Gryphin]

When there is one present,
The best place to "cloak" a sat is in a storm that is opaque to most scanners.
Gotta love those FQMs

Has anyone written a comprehensive summary on cloaking? Something that answers questions concerning if/when combat occurs, what and when ships can be seen, energy effects, combat effects, detection (if, when and ranges), ad nauseum....

A forum search turned up dozens of snippets, but no single story on the subject.

It's kinda hard to write it down all in one place, but a start can be seen here: {Wiki:}

Explanations tend to go like this: A level 1 tachyon sensor penetrates a cloak level of 2 which is generated by a cloaking device level 1 but only for a cloak type of EM Active ...

Bah, if ships appear out of nowhere, research better sensors.
