Depends on what the planet is.

depends on if it can be sabbed and how good the planet is ?

It was my worst production planet but I turned it into a storage planet due to its size.

Uhh... yes?

Better defense would be more cloak.

Does that make mine overkill then? I do not have enough Cloak researched to make it invisible

Make sure your adding the drops from Fab plants to increase its passive stats. That's an easy way to boost cloak.

Problem with cloak is that:
1; Planetary cloaking is reportedly broken.
2; Once it's found and you went heavy on cloak, the planet wont stand as much of a chance in the face of an invasion.

Seems I've got some competition going on. xD

As it stands now, I would have a high chance of scanning it, and my Legion would almost certainly take it, without too much difficulty.

I would only have about 27% chance to invade it so I guess it is defended against one of me, but not my legion.

here is an example of one of my project planets.



It's a work in progress needs a few more items before it is complete. Still produces nicely.
Mining 9x Mega Rich 392.1372 units/hr
Artifact 22x Mega Rich 1409.0076 units/hr
Research 17x Mega Rich 570.024 units/hr

Well, I'd cloak it still, make sure you are the only guy who scanned it, take a screenshot after.
Long as it's not crit-hacked off of u(remember to probe whenever you are crit hacked), if it was ever taken by anyone, report it to Dan. Dan have explicitly said that cloak should work, and if it fails where it should work, I'm sure he would comp you.
Granted, now the required cloak to super-cloak might be ~25k. The wiki one is outdated.



That was on the "planet cloak is bugged" thread, I'm not entirely sure which planet he's talking about, but as you can see, Dan does replace planets if it was bugged out.

I posted this in our legion long time ago, thought I can share this inform for those who have missed

Planet's Cloak vs Ship's Scan

For those who's still wondering "CLOAK > SCAN = 100% UNDISCOVERABLE?"

I searched back from dates trying to find out why some people could scan higher cloaked planets with weaker scanning power?!

If your scan is higher than the planet's cloak, then there is a *chance* that you will be unsuccessful in finding it during your scan (this is new)

Then why some people claim planets are still being scanned when "Cloak > Scan"?

Legion bonuses contribute an especially large amount of cloak for many.

Still has 7 free space - Not a single sabotage-able structure, and it still has a long way to go.

I've got a VL Icy with Rings + Caverns that'll have the same build.

***No Temporary Effects Except The Trellith Influence***

I would prefer Cloak over Defense tbh... it's just because I've lost a Storage planet with over 150k total Invasion Defense. Your planet can never be safe unless you know they can't see it.
One of my beloved planets... 0 Temp Buff/Stats.

This- is very important intel- thank you for sharing

The Cloak breaks, and you lose it anyway.

Also very unlikely that will happen and unlikely that your planet has 20k pop, 100k defense and produces that much. And you say it's unbuffed? I'd like to see that...
