Cloak: How Does Damaging Sensors Affect It?

I was detected at ranges between 130 and 150, with a lvl 5 cloak and legendary crew, 3 times by the same borg, while at speed 15 .

Were their sensors green, yellow, red or black at the time, if you recall?

they were yellow if i recall well.... I really felt stupid when the guy told me ; 147 range, speed 15...... God..... I was at 147 distance--- no one should be capable of detecting a cloaked ship travelling at that distance.
just for the record the max speed of the ship was above 40, so 15 is even less than 1/2 impulse
Aenigma:
You can be detected on long range in two ways.
a: you are probed (almost always detection)
b: you warp (recent testing shows that using warpdrive greatly increases detection chances, even with a lvl5 cloak)
But if you fight borg, be careful, they sometimes can see you, even at long range.

Tulmahk:
I was wondering if anyone has done any experiments, or knows off hand if damaging your opponent's sensors limits their ability to scan for you while you're cloaked?
Common sense tells me that it would. And if you destroyed their sensors it would eliminate their ability to detect you at all, apart from probes. But common sense is often wrong, so I was wondering if anyone knew within a reasonable degree of certainty. Could potentially be a new tactic for cloakers (not to mention a great application for Polaron Torpedos).
Aenigma:
Could be nice to run tests on. Use lvl3 cloaks to test (lvl5 is, as recent tests showed out, nearly undetectable by ac-scans). It might be difficult to find a victim though..... Maybe someone should test using multiplayer skirmish.

EE:
I have been detected at a range of 40.5 or was it 43.5 when I had a level 5 cloak with all legendary crew.
then again, I was detected at a range of 103.something with a level 1 cloak and newbie crew
