detecting cloaked ships

[WhiteHojo]

I believe if you have 1 ship/base/sat in a system w/a sensor of appropriate level that is able to detect the cloaking level of the enemy ship, the enemy is viewable to all your forces.

somewhere in the archives there is a verrry good discussion on sensors and cloaking - I found it very helpfull. can't remember what it was called or when the Last time I saw it was -sorry

Thanks, guys. Was that the case with SE III too? I thought you could only see cloaked ships if you were in the same sector. We always take cloaking out when we play at work anyway, kind of a rhetorical question I suppose.

In SE3 cloaking detection kinda sucked. All that tachon sensors did was prevent cloacked ships from entering the sector that contained a ship with Sesnors.

SE4, cloaked ships become visible.

So far as I can tell: what whitehojo said. I am in a deathstruggle with the Xi'Chung in my current game and the little roaches are cloaking to the max....
