Planetary Cloak
- Planet 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.
- 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.
- Planetary cloak is completely ignored in the case of a critical hack.
- Below is a list of current top planetary cloaking artifacts:
1 Doubles on Icy Planets (or Icy turned to Oceanic)
2 Upgrades an existing Spy Uplink Chassis, doubling research and tripling cloak bonus without increasing size.
Planetary Passive Cloak
- For the standard "best" passive cloak option, see this forum topic. However, that analysis excluded the subsequently released Morphogenic Suits and Chronophase Receiver.
- Below is a list of current planetary cloaking artifacts for passive cloak:
