How so?

I recall that Inverse Satellites give +800 cloak for 7 space on planets, and x2 with full legion bonus. Thats about 1600 cloak per satellite. Now, lets assume we build 3 of these satellites. That's 21 space for almost 5,000 cloak. That doesn't leave much space for production on most planets. To make the planet unscannable (almost 10,000 cloak), you'd now need 42 space to put on 6 of these satellites. Thats very pricey at 300 aidonium (50 each) and 3 billion credits (500 million each). Then you'd probably only be able to put on 1 production building per planet if its Massive or bigger.

The prices of the Inverse satellites might force players to use the cheaper anti-tachyon satellites which give +500 cloak for 6 space. We would need 10 tachyon satellites for 10,000 cloak which would eat 60 space. No production buildings can be built, and the planet would have to be Massive to even mount 10 tachyon satellites.

Cloak also reduces the % of people scanning your planet (they can find it but still not get it on there list). if they have a 10% gap then they have a 10% chance to fully scan your planet.

Yes the increases the % but still having a 2k cloak base (4k with legion) still cuts there chances down a few notches. Just it is not as much in the long run. But still adds something that might make them lose your planet.

2 inverse flux cloaks is about 3500 with an over-sized legion. That blocks a fair % of GL players with lower scans. Now, among the 10% of ppl with max scan, it used to still block 40% of 8300, now it will a bit less. This is still a pretty economical cloak/risk level. My issue since rank 1000 is the utter lack of passive cloak available.

max legion bonus is +120%, thus 2.2x multiplier, not 2x

Agreed, planet cloaking needs a definite upgrade
