I know that with no scan on, no one will appear unless they are QFT. And with max scan on, I will probably see Darkstar (lol) and a cluster of Dysonians. The question is, if one has max cloak on (not sure what the highest value is, but I think: 3,334 * 1.08 * 1.08 = 3,889 cloak) compared to around 10k normal max scan, will that 1) do nothing, 2) reduce the chance of being seen by some percent depending on scan like a planet scan vs. cloak check, 3) block only people under 3889 scan ? In other words, at highest techs can you hide from battle tab hits or not ?

if you figure it out, id definitly like to know. i like to stay hidden as much as possible.

I think it's a yes/no thing, cause I don't see ppl "less", I don't see them at all. Although, certain ppl only seem to see me about 1-2/day, so I think it won't show unless you can badge off it too.

I've noticed ships showing up on my BT only if they are badgeable up or down.

Yeah it seems since there is a 12hr period per badge, you won't be on someone's btab for 12hr after being hit. That explains why only 1-2/day.
