Re: Cloaked ships
i believe the shisp are 100% cloaked ie not even from the most powerful scan ie mil scan can u tell what ships they are, how ever the amnt that comes at you is still shown, so say i was xan and i sent 1k ships at u, you would hope they are 1k fighters but they could be 1k battleships.

Re: Cloaked ships
that you got no way of scanning him (excet by being lucky with a news scan and see his old battlereports) not even mil scans atm show the fleet from a xan player.

Re: Cloaked ships
At this stage in the game various types of scan will reveal the structures and constructions a player has.
if he has only 2 factories, you can guess he has no ability to build BS/CR.
You can be sure at the moment a Xan player has not had enough time elapse to have the ability to build BS/CR there have simply not been enough ticks, even with the shortest possible reseasch times.
Similar applies to Terran and Zik, although you can unit scan them ofc.
Cathar however are getting BS/CR now, and some have had them for quite a few ticks.
Phear the Cathar with a load of Jammers.
