You won't see them with dscan or probes if they are cloaked. No way to see them.

which is why you should always assume they are there.

Sure! If you know the secret. For the right price, I'll tell you the secret! Oh wait...you're a new player?...then no, no it is not possible to scan cloaked ships.

For some reason, an Astero is way more frightening than a Falcon or a Rapier. I have yet to understand why.

It would be cool if combat recons had the ability to scan out cloaked ships Blink

Mostly because the Astero appears RIGHT on your ass, whereas the combat recon flashes on your overview for a few precious seconds while landing.

Once they increased the size of grids I no longer find combat recons an issue like I did previously. Thanks CCP for that change.

To the OP you have to fly a ship that enables you to kite what you want to kill as in PvE and be aligned to a safe that you can warp to as soon as someone uncloaks or tries to land on you. Apply that basic principal to your PvE and you will be difficult to catch.

EDIT Heron, I see exploration, really difficult to be honest, becauseyou have to do the mini game so your attention is diverted and of course you ae not aligned, you have to perfect the twitch warp out as oon as you hear the cloak sound, have sound up loud for that. Good luck, its a bit of a lottery...

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

Certainly you are correct. I was just joking about not wanting to scam new players is all.

And one does not imagine the Astero to be so impolite...
