Yea, but what is the chance in percent?
The guide listed above by ConjurerDragon gives most, if not all, percentages. If a % isn't listed, I would assume +10 for the main trait.

The one I have monitored intensely for years is:
Blockade-Runner
Decreases chance of being detected by enemy vessels.
Bitvalue: 2048

I don't see any percentage nor do I understand why it would be assumed that it is automatically +10% since chance of detection is - firstly - dependent on your fleet's visibility rating. As such, a single TP should be nearly undetectable travelling the oceans alone; and downright impossible if captained by a Blockade Runner. NOTE: Some leaders listed give 25% increase in traits.

UNFORTUNATELY, I can tell you from personal experience, that single TPs with block runner indeed are detected sometimes. But it is impossible for me to attribute odds to that. But I would never transport very valuable cargo like HQs and ARM on single TPs with that leader as their only protection.

Reading previous posts here, I stopped putting a DD & CL on my TP's, and regularly move groups of 3 around, but if in a war zone, I try to have 1 SAG, CTF or large ASW fleet in each ocean zone. Doesn't always work, tho...
