Invisibility to Science not working.
I am trying to make specific enemy ships invisible to science and LRS/Tactical. LRS and tactical are working, but I have not seen success in making the enemey vessels invisible to science.
Here is a sample code snippet for just Science Invisibility, which is not successfully blocking Science from seeing the ship:
Am I missing anything?

Try creating a separate event AFTER the <create> event, that clears and sets the AI.
"We should give him the send-off he deserves. He died saving us all. Prepare a Rocket-Shed for immediate launch."
Not having any luck. Here is my xml.
Followd by the next event, which should be setting eliteabilitybits.

I believe that the invisible to science flag has been disabled. IMO it was leaving the science officer out of the action in too many battles.
"Damn the torpedoes! Four bells, Captain Drayton!"
(Likely actual words of Admiral David Farragut, USN, at the battle of Mobile Bay. Four bells was the signal for the engine room to make full steam ahead).

Ah. Well, I was just using it As a temporary measure until a reveal event, but I suppose I can just as easily create the enemy ships upon te reveal event, and make te reveal condition based on the proximity to a point in space instead of proximity to a ship.
It would be nice if the documentation was up to date, and/or if there was an official wiki where those caveats can be documented.

You can make a generic object that is invisible to Science.

Ah! Well a generic mesh won't help my ships, but I do have need of an invisible generic object. Thanks for the tip!
