EM, Scanning, Jamming and Cloaking

[Baron Munchausen]

I made the same observation some time ago on the beta forums. There are just so many things that have to be dealt with first, mainly the AI, that there's no telling when they can get to it. Also, you'd think there would be some sort of advantage for "active" scanning vs, passive, don't you? As it is, the cheapest way to catch all cloaked ships is to research "advanced military science" to level 6 and use the hyper optics. Surely their are limits to passive scanning? I'm tempted to boost the passive cloak level of the cloaking device by 1 at each level, then you'd need active scanning to catch the device, but stealth armor would still be hosed by the passive scanning.
