Silent Running no longer has the Clingon Invisibilty Cloak feature.

To remain or reduce detection when Silent Running you should after giving the order and having recieved confirmation, then use the knot dial and slow down to 1+ knots.

No-one will ever get 'THE' perfect SHIII Hydrophone/Sonar configuration as it does not scale well and is very much a "and or" setup.

Our starting point was to remove Clingon Invisibilty Cloak that allowed a player at 3 knots to travel directly under an escort. While at the same time putting the emphasis on your speed as too how far away you will get detected.

In addition, the higher the wind speed the less detectable you are compared to say 0 wind speed.

Also remember, on top of all this are two alert states for the AI. Normal, in which you get a non-detection bonus, and high alert where they actively seeking you and they will detect you in conditions, speeds etc that they did not when on a lower alert level.
