Summary0024249: Implement a No-Cloak Radius on Spire Spy Cradles.
DescriptionThe idea is simple, give Spire Spy Cradles the ability to reveal cloaked units in their watch radius, instead of just on the local planet. Chris asked for me to mantis this, after pitching it in discord.

Potential hangup around bonus watch radius from logistical stations and/or settings, so probably don't literally link the two hop-counts.

Would indeed be over-tuned if it instantly auto-busts cloaking at higher watch radius settings. If anything I'd give it a general tachyon effect that drops off in intensity the more hops away a system is.

So something like 3000 tachyon one hop out, 1500 tachyon two hops out, 750 at three hops, etc. It can eventually break cloaks at very far ranges but realistically its going to get far more efficient the closer the unit is to the system with the cradle. Thus even if somebody has +3 vision hops via lobby settings, a logi station +1, and a cradle +2 for six hops worth of vision total the cloak busting is going to be pretty slow at the outer edge. Numbers being adjustable to something more appropriate if needed.
