How do I detect stealth armor?

[Dracus]

maybe a cloak that also sweeps mines. That way cloaked ships can pass through mine fields undetected. Then scanning Sats would be useful.

Don't know if this will work, can't test it until I get home. I am just using Cloaking Device I to play with these idea's, If they work then a couple of changes to the tech tree and these could be added.(just a thought)

Name := Cloaking Device I
Description := Field generated around a starship which passes all energy around the ship. This field has the effect
of rendering the ship invisible.
Pic Num := 38
Tonnage Space Taken := 40
Tonnage Structure := 40
Cost Minerals := 1000
Cost Organics := 0
Cost Radioactives := 500
Vehicle Type := Ship\Base\Sat
Supply Amount Used := 100
Restrictions := None
General Group := Shields
Family := 26
Roman Numeral := 1
Custom Group := 0
Number of Tech Req := 2
Tech Area Req 1 := Cloaking
Tech Level Req 1 := 1
Tech Area Req 2 := Mines
Tech Level Req 2 := 1
Number of Abilities := 6
Ability 1 Type := Cloak Level
Ability 1 Descr := Prevents level 1 Active EM scans.
Ability 1 Val 1 := EM Active
Ability 1 Val 2 := 2
Ability 2 Type := Cloak Level
Ability 2 Descr := Prevents level 1 Passive EM scans.
Ability 2 Val 1 := EM Passive
Ability 2 Val 2 := 2
Ability 3 Type := Cloak Level
Ability 3 Descr := Prevents level 1 Psychic scans.
Ability 3 Val 1 := Psychic
Ability 3 Val 2 := 2
Ability 4 Type := Cloak Level
Ability 4 Descr := Prevents level 1 Gravitic scans.
Ability 4 Val 1 := Gravitic
Ability 4 Val 2 := 2
Ability 5 Type := Cloak Level
Ability 5 Descr := Prevents level 1 Temporal scans.
Ability 5 Val 1 := Temporal
Ability 5 Val 2 := 2
Ability 6 Type := Mine Sweeping
Ability 6 Descr := Can sweep 5 mine per use.
Ability 6 Val 1 := 5
Ability 6 Val 2 := 0
Weapon Type := None

A cloak that sweeps 5 mines.

(man I just went crazy. Ideas for new tech are hittting me like bricks. Armor that can absorb fire and then direct it back at you. Tons of hidden weopons. Maybe time to create a new mod, hmm, wonder if these will really work.)
