Benefits

There are three primary uses for Cloak:

• Finding Planets - Every time you add a planet to your "planets scanned" list, it gets harder to find another planet. Improving your scan will increase your chances of success, thereby reducing the energy wasted oScan will also let you gain detailed information about your target, thus allowing you to better choose your targets. Higher scan also give a greater chance for critical hits.

• Hacking - Scan is factored into the actual hack attempt (along with Cloak) to determine the success of your attempt. A successful Hack attempt can net you research points or new planet locations.
