Cloaked vessel detection range?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I have been wondering what is the range of detection for science vessels, science officers, and regular vessels.

Its my understanding that a science officers sensor sweep has a range of only 5k. I have also noticed that science vessels can only see you at 5k or closer without a sweep and that normal vessels seem to be capable of seeing you while you are within 1k. are my observations correct? Also is this detection shared with fellow teammates?

I have been having quite a bit of fun with the battle cloak and it has saved my but from destruction a couple of times.

    Detection ranges can be boosted with higher Aux levels.

    And the way I understand it, Sensor Scan boosts your perception range so you can detect a cloaked ship further away than whatever your standard range is.

    am i wrong in thinking that it can be 10k +5 radius, what i mean is if you target a ship as science an do sweep then the 5k radius comes off the ship that you have targeted but if cast without target is 5k from self ?
