This is exactly what was needed to prove the point to Dan that cloak is indeed broken... can i ask if Romanoid also sent an in-game report to Dan, to the effect of saying, i was scanning with "insert scan here", and found this planet, so that Dan has proof from both parties involved.

I figured the cloak was still broken.

on my last scan run i had a buffed scan of just over 17000 and i scanned a colossal crystal which had 27000 cloak while being guarded, i dont see how this should have been possible

Is it possible that attempted scans are handled like attacks -- i.e. each scan attempt = scan power multiplied by 0.66 to 1.66? If that is the case, it would be possible, though unlikely, in each of these scenarios for the scanner to spot the cloaked planet.
I've read in two places now that Dan has said if your scan is lower than the planet's cloak, you will not see the planet. If scan is static, that would mean it is truly broken. But if there is a scan "roll," similar to attacks, while searching for planets, it would be possible. I'm just guessing about the game mechanics behind scanning for planets; the wiki is not terribly detailed and I'd like to hear more about it if somebody knows. |

**Update** "Thanks for the report. I'll clear that scan and take a closer look."- Dan

As far as I can tell it's probably something like Roll for planet type Roll for planet size Roll for resources (perhaps not this one) Roll for cloak vs scan. In that order, because without planet type, you can't roll for size or resources. |

I think it's:
Code: Find maximum number of planets in database (to get number between 1 and X where X is the total number)-> Randomly pick planet -> If(cloak > scan) { go back to start } else, planet has been scanned! _________________ Devastation - Rank 1209 - Proud Officer of Imperium of Namalak |

Thats wrong. Any cloak reduces the chance of a successful scan. I do believe the random selection part is correct though. _________________  http://www.universegenesis.com/bonus.php?id=7704&rofl=1f1616039121f25&lol=72141855&boss=SteelWolverine ICBLF wrote: to be honest, I was rooting for you even while eating KVTs |

That was more of a rough outline. I'm not gonna spend 20 mins detailing precisely how I think it works.
