Adding Cloaking Devices

More about Hull Design

Playing Stars!

A cloaking device reduces the range at which your opponents' scanners can detect your fleets. There are several different types of cloaks, each reducing your opponents' scanner range by a specific percentage. The higher the percentage, the more the range is reduced. Cloaks on a ship can all be the same strength or of different strengths. Cloaking is shared by an entire fleet: every ship not carrying a cloak is covered until it leaves the fleet.

When designing a ship, you can add a cloaking device to any slot labeled Electrical or General Purpose.

Races with the Inner Strength primary trait can learn how to build Tachyon Detectors. This device has the ability to reduce the effectiveness of other player's cloaking devices.
