Couple months ago one of my friends lost 20x colossal arti he claimed he had over 22k cloak on it...first i thought he was mistaken and had much less cloak (the person that took it wasnt even explorer)

anyways today one of my legionmates scanned planet with over 20k cloak
and he had only little over 12k scan!

cant tell you how exactly the planet looked like since he took it apart after invading but it had 3856 passive cloak and the 20% ergosphere + the 25% meta tuned jammer

CLOAK DOES NOT WORK!

if the player is INACTIVE, then the cloak becomes null. pretty shtty deal to be honest, but yeah.. thats how it goes.

owner was/is active

oh. dont know what to say then.

I believe it's not a direct your scan < their cloak makes them impossible to find. Unlikely, yes. However, I have a planet scanned with abour 4k cloak on it, and I can tell you for a fact that I've never had more than 2.5k scan on.

Except I believe Dan previously said that Cloak > Scan = no find.

Well then... No clue.

ODragon is correct. Dan has stated unequivocably that Cloak > Scan equals no chance. When Scan >= Cloak, THEN there is a chance roll involved.

I have scaned planets With over 10% more cloak then i had scan. I resently had just under 14k scan. I scaned a planet with over 15.5k cloak. I have seen this done alot. I thought cloak works in like when you take a planet your scan VS the cloak and it comes down to the luck of the dice a percent chance cloak lessens the percent ?? If it is not like that then , There's a game issue cause I my self have fond planets and I have seen many others do the same. But I think im right .. Maybe?? Im almost always right.

Oww and yes they where very active players..Maybe. He most did react.

Possibly legion bonus doesn't work correctly for cloak?

Or one of the recent +%Cloak modules. They certainly need to look into this.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I'd also like some clarity on this one. I have also managed to scan a planet with more cloak than I have scan. Is this normal? I wasn't complaining then, but it would suck to lose one of my premium planets if the assumption of if cloak > scan = no find is false!

if u find a planet with more cloak than ur scan
drop a governance on it.
supposed to only be able to do that to inactive players, so lets see if that's true.

It's not true I have scanned planets owned by active players hat had more cloak then my scan.

Is there any testimony to verify Dan's statement? - i feel Scan/Cloak system of planets works much the same way as planet invasion - Cloak has only a 90% chance of blocking scan, no matter how high cloak is - same with invading planets, not matter how much invasion attack you have, you're best odds are 90% invasion chance... I remember that people were able to scan planets under the effects of flux storm (+ 50,000 Cloak)

Flux Storm was bugged, and was removed.

Which was when Dan posted saying that this should not have been possible, and he quickly removed flux storms from the game.

Can only go by what Dan said:

Didn't think anything of it.

But on my recent scan binge, with a little more then about 10k scan, i scanned a planet with 17.6k cloak, a mission dyson.

I am pretty sure the person is active also.

I cant believe Dan has not even commented on this one, it is extremely disturbing to think that my best planets are literally undefended. Many of these planets represent actual cash investments and I for one will not be spending another sent until this problem is confirmed fixed.

Surely this is currently the worst bug in the game and im dumbfounded at the lack of developers response.

Not even a 'im looking into it' i have to say im a bit disappointed.
