I have noticed since the last patch that when jumping through gates occasionally when trying to cloak and warp off (in a bomber) I get the message saying I have to wait 10 secs to cloak as if I had just decloaked.

Lukily I havent had this happen coming into a gate camp.

Please fix Smile

Actually this is most likely not a bug, your recloak timer has always persisted after gate jumps and wormhole jumps. I.e. if you are in a bomber with 15 second recloak delay, jumping a gate does not reset it. You just managed however to jump through and try to cloak before the 15 seconds were up.

Just did about 40 odd jumps and it happened about 4 times. I have been flying a bomber for more than a year and this hasnt happened before? I'm pretty certain that each time it happened I hadnt decloaked less than 15 seconds beforehand.

I have also had this happen multiple times in the past week or so with my bomber. I have been getting 5-15 second reactivation cooldown even though there has been 20-30 seconds since I decloaked on the other side of the gate.

I have experienced this myself a couple of times.

What happens:
You decloak and jump through a gate
You wait a bit on the other side in gate cloak
Warp and try to cloak
Can't cloak because of timer that says 15 seconds until recloaking delay has passed

That 15 second delay should start the moment you decloak on the other side (before jumping) and should never be this high after decloaking from gate cloak. This happens quite rarely and has only happened with stealth bombers for me. Annoying bug that will get people killed :(

Petition was opened for this bug, bug report filled. Petition closed even though the problem still exists.

I have repeated this bug with recons and T3 cruisers...

CCP, state whether this is now working as intended or not please....

This still happens and it still is extremely annoying. Bombers are just too unreliable to be used as scouts. You can never know when the game decides to **** you and cause your death.
