Stealth guard posts and AI Eyes

[Shrugging Khan]

Fun outranks on-topic-ness in priority 

On the issue, I'll have to announce that I'm a fukken idiot. Scout Starships have a tach range of 750, not several thousands as I previously thought - so my combing technique doesn't work in the slightest.

In fact, I've just spent half an hour looking in vain for a damned stealth guard post.

Bite the bullet, unlock decloakers. Huge range, they usually find things within 10 seconds or so.

If you really find it such a pain, just make a save, get a tacheon nuke, use it, memorise the foe's, reload, kill them. 
(Usually with engies/rebuilders you can find them by memorising where the guardsposts/CC where, they tend to be there, at gates or near harvesters(which usually are guardspost positions). Cloaked pointy foes tend to attack when you give them a vunerable target, use this to your advantage

Or just get the Decloakers. I did this myself, and at only 1000K there pretty valuable for what you get.

I just couldn't deal with all the cloaked ships I was getting in this one map. -_- Dang Raptors? Raiders? One of those

If you see an AI planet that starts with an exposed metal or crystal node that is not within two jumps of your home planet on difficulty 7+, there is a good chance it is a stealth post.

The stealth guard posts I keep finding around aren't even anywhere near metal/crystal nodes, they're just out in the middle of nowhere.  Makes it a pain to find them, or even realize they're there in the first place

Still playing games from before the 4.068 changes that moved wormholes and resource points around? (or whatever version number that was)

I think stealth posts actually self-destruct when you build an OCS on their planet. Seems to have happened for me, anyways.

Nope, I never actually played in the version that relocated everything.
