Well you can hope for a cloak fail. You can load the sector and all surrounding sectors with fighters and mines. You can park a L6 planet over them with the IG on. Other than that, without photons I think your SOL. |

Do a density scan of the sector. If you see an anomoly with no density, then it is a cloaked ship. If you see an anomoly with some density, there MIGHT be a cloaked ship. Here are some density values. Port = 100 Ship Empty = 38 Fighter = 5 Limpit Mine = 2 earth. |

I may be wrong, but I have not been able to see densities for cloaked ships for awhile. Perhaps EIS has moved the game to disable this? |

Cloaked ships have no density but do create an anomaly. One favorite trick is before you cloak out you drop limpets to give the anomaly a density value and most people dont bother with draining all the limpets to find out or ptorping the sector to find out. If they cloak in fed space the only thing you can attempt is to put 100% nav haz over them by destroying planets. Note that SD and 1 you cant do anything about, SD doesnt allow nav haz in the sector and you cant build planets in 1. So if you have a guy with 100 fighters or less in fed and you put 100% nav haz over the top of him when he logs in it does 1000 damage and he dies. Trick is to fill the surrounding sectors with it to so it kills his pod also. Personally if I cloak out in fed if I cant do it in 1 or SD then I leave my fighters maxed so I get towed. The chances of being found are slim and you wont log on to 100% nav haz in fed space. As far as actually finding someone thats cloaked it takes a lot of time and turns because you cant see them with probes. |

Shorty, Allowing yourself to get towed may be ok in quieter games, but if there is any serious competition, they will certainly amtrak you (surround the MSL's with figs) and then find where you were towed and kill you. |
