I figure if you can see him, then he can see you. Whether two locations can see each other is usually based on the height of each. A tall structure can be seen from far away, and if you stand on it you can see further. Whenever I encounter a ship, I immediately ask my watch officer for a range. Then I try to stay outside that range while I set myself up ahead of the target. With the 16 km atmosphere mod, you just stay 17 km away from the corvettes while going end around unless the visibility is limited.
