Planetary Cloaking

Revision as of 23:49, 10 February 2017

During scanning, there is a first roll to check if the scan was successful. If it was, a random planet is picked from the galaxy. If the planet that was picked has cloaking, then a 2nd roll takes place.

If the planet's cloak is greater than the ship's scan rating, the scan will fail.

Cloak is only one line of defense, and relying on it exclusively is not a guarantee of protection. However, if you can get the cloak of a planet up high enough, it will be a challenge for anyone else to find it through traditional scanning. Equipping five of the most powerful researchable scanners available (Continuum Analyzer-Mark III) will only give a ship 4800 scan strength, so it would take a very extensive set of artifacts (both temporary and ship modules) and likely the Explorer Profession as well to get a high scan strength. The maximum scan for various professions and races is tracked on the Scan Blitz page.

Planetary cloak is completely ignored in the case of a critical hack.

For the standard "best" passive cloak option, see this forum topic. However, that analysis excluded the subsequently released Morphogenic Suits and Chronophase Receiver. The easiest initial option is to use the Interspacial Fold Generator on an initially non-cloaked planet to get its passive cloak to 1000, then a series of Clandestine Revisions artifacts cheaply available from the Mission Market to get the passive cloak up to 5250.
