I did some tests with this to see what the "Best" non NAS detection of 98% cloaked ships was (no tech barred), Using 2 Nubians one with all Peerless and one with all TD (later found to be a waste since TD's stop being useful after 21 TD's)
I painstaking zig zagged my pair of ships till they'd hit their detection range.. And found it to be 256ly max detection [Measured to the ly]... Pretty good for 98% cloaked (scan range 1224ly non pen)
I did some calculations and after finding that 24 TD "should" yield higher results I decided to scale back and see just where the brake point really was.. Turns out it's about 21. Or so...
But as far as cost effective upgrades to scanners.. It's probably better to go with making TD ships and scanner ships separate.. Since as long as they are in the same fleet they act as a single entity. Meaning when separate you can split the fleet of 2 and effectively, no.. Actually turn off the anti cloaking... And turn it back on again next year..Plus upgrading is much easier since you just assign your best scouts to the TD fleet.. And that's the upgrade.. Yes it takes 2 slots.. But the advantage is you can sell a TD only ship to someone and they get superior anti cloaking, AND their own scanning capabilities are added to the thing..
(PS. 21 TD nubian + 12 Peerless = 206ly detection for those of you who like single ship rather than combo detection groups. [Measured to the ly, not calculated].)
Just thought that fact might be of some interest to someone.. In theory NAS could take the 256ly detection and boast it to 512ly.. Literally spotting ANYTHING half a decade away! (at warp 10) Pretty good I'd say. SS beware Smile
