Here is the ship itself, I've been meaning to play around with cloaks.

Code: [Select]
Von Roeder class Intelligence Cruiser    10,000 tons     1038 Crew     3119.5 BP      TCS 40  TH 84  EM 0
1750 km/s    JR 3-50     Armour 3-41     Shields 0-0     Sensors 700/1/0/0     Damage Control Rating 20     PPV 0
Maint Life 5.45 Years     MSP 3899    AFR 40%    IFR 0.6%    1YR 220    5YR 3300    Max Repair 1250 MSP

JM 10000 - 3     Max Ship Size 10000 tons    Distance 50k km     Squadron Size 3
ICFusion Drive MHE3.75 (4)    Power 87.5    Fuel Use 37.5%    Signature 21    Armour 0    Exp 3%    Hyper Capable
Fuel Capacity 450,000 Litres    Range 216.0 billion km   (1428 days at full power)

MTH S50 Sig700 (1)     Sensitivity 700     Detect Sig Strength 1000:  700m km
Cloaking Device: Class cross-section reduced to 20% of normal

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes

To follow up, my ships advance on the unknowns as they fire on me, but my PD proves capable of shooting down all by 1 lucky missile. Once in beam range the other ships are chewed up and spit out by gauss turrets, rail guns, and plasma cannons, and finally one runner had the sense to flee from the battle. I eventually discovered that he had an EM sensor suite, and that shutting down my 22k GPS sensor let me catch up to him.

I'm curious - what cloaking efficiency are you using?

80%, with an efficiency of 4, the ship never ventured into any active sensor range though.
