Well, I've suggested a long time before that if you don't win a battle with a cloaked fleet you don't get to know who it belongs to or see the ship designs. If you don't have a scanner present and are defeated by a cloaked enemy you don't get any battle information at all, other than it appears to have been destroyed by forces unknown. This probably should be a random chance depending on cloaking percentage.

Also, if you destroyed a cloakie, you'd get to know the owner and the design, I guess.

What you wouldn't know is the exact *number* of ships in the fleet, perhaps.

It would certainly look odd in the battleboard, tho. Sherlock

At any rate, if "something" fired at you, you'd know their weaponry, their init, computing, and the number of armed ships that fired. Fire bounce

If your ships fired back at "something" you'd know their shielding, jamming, a good guess at their armor and mass, and perhaps even their engines.

Also, I think the "no battle info at all" would make more sense if all your ships were destroyed at 1st shot or were all civilians. Rolling Eyes

The military should still be able to extract significant info on their cloaked enemies thanks to the "penetration-testing" capabilities of their ordnance. But a single kamikaze chaff "pinging" a big fleet would be reduced to learn some details about what fired on it. Twisted Evil

Things whould be somewhat more feasible if one race were allowed to know "partial" enemy designs (where even guesswork could be included), instead of all-or-nothing. Deal

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
