How about Partnerships? Are you his Partner or Partner with a Partner of his. That would effectively void the cloak.

Default Re: new cloaking idea problem.
Just give every cloaking device that you want to be able to operate independantly of other cloaking components level 2 cloak in all cloak areas (at least). This will force you not to create level 1 scanners of any type, thus relieving any possible confusion.

Did you have an ally present in the system who has the necessary sensor to see through the cloak?

Tweaking the cloaking system can lead to unexpected outcomes.

Cloak modding is sometimes very problamatic.

Hum, we all sound like cloak engineers here. LOL

Does the collective hive mind know what is the maximum level for cloaking and scanning that works?
