Do the ship detection stations that are built on planets "stack" in their effectiveness? How do they work in detection uncloaked and cloaked ships?

Yes, they stack.

For uncloacked ships, you can better know the fleet composition at the adjusted stars and exact composition in your system.

For cloacked ships, you increase the probability of discovering them with each station.

What is the math behind it? Do stations from different planets of the same system participate in one formula? Do stations from adjacent systems participate in one formula?

Check is performed once in 3 days (the smallest time tick).

Station from different planets as well as sensing equipment of ships sums up and gives the "DetectionValue".

The minimum value for each planet is 0.1, then each station adds its value (0.35 if I am not mistaken).

Each fleet adds 0.025 plus its passive spying power.

Then the formula is this:

DetectionValue*=0.01f;

float DetectionProb = DetectionValue + (1.0f - DetectionValue)*powf(1.0f - Sh->Type->StealthEffect, 6);

// check if detected
float ThisRound = 1.0f + rand() % 1000;

if (DetectionProb*1000.0f > ThisRound)
{
// detected!
SetBit(DetectedThisTurn, i);
}
