Maybe a 1° dscan and there’s a heatmap kind of like from PI… Based on skills and the smelloscope location you could potentially get a bookmark for an AFK cloaker or any cosmic signature. ---

I suppose if there’s going to be a way to find cloaked ships, it ought to be hard and take quite some time. I suppose it should take longer than pretty much anything you’d want to do while cloaked. And it’s a d-scan thing, so I guess it wouldn’t give warpable results, so I guess that’s probably okay too. It sounds delightfully useless to me. ---
