Let's say that hypotetically I'm an SD with an unresponsive SS neighbour who may perhaps one day become my enemy, although I hope not.
The helpfile states the following facts:
-When a ship is in a minefield, its cloak effectiveness is always an absolute value (90% cloak = 10% chance of detection)
-SD: Minefields act as normal scanners but do not detect fleets orbiting planets.
So if I have a 100 ly minefield around a planet, and a 100 ly scanner, and a 75% cloaked fleet somewhere, can I then assume the following?:
-The 100ly scanner is useless, as the SD fleet will always be in the minefield.
-It does not matter if the fleet is 2ly from my planet or 98ly from my planet, the detection probability will be 25% anyway.
-If I detect the fleet at say 50ly from my planet, and it moves to 30ly, it will have a 75% chance of "dissappearing" from my scanners? Or will it stay detected?
