Hahaha. Thanks for reminding me of the first three rules of Stars!: test it, test it, and test it again. I set up a test and all the results fit exactly with fields operating like scanners. I tripled the number of trials and now it looks like the first set of tests was just extremely lucky. I can confirm that a 70% cloak ship can remain undetected 1 ly from center of a 100 ly field and the same can be detected 83 ly from center of the same field.

Did your test include normal scanners + inside minefield?

I don't think it matters.

If the cloaked ship is close enough to the scanner (based on cloak percentage and scanner range), the scanner sees it.
If not, the minefield has a chance to see it (100% - cloak percentage).

It doesn't matter in which order Stars! checks these, since only one is probabilistic.

What we need's a few good taters.
