Hello CCP/Devs,

prior the big FW change it was possible to sneak into a plex with a cloaky ship by manually navigating at below 2500m from the gate and hitting the warp button. This doesn't work any more. When at 2400m from the warp in gate you hit the warp button then you first approach the gate below 2000m and then warp. Please revert this change or tell me at least a good reason why this changes was necessary.

Best regards,
Meditril

Looks like all devs are currently on holidays.

If you think you're actually going to get a personal response from a Dev, you're going to be waiting a long time. Just drop a petition and ask if it's working as intended.

Pretty sure it was their fix to the "unable to [do something] while cloaked" bug. You uncloak and approach the targets now.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I already dropped a petition and the GM told me he can't aswer my question and I should ask devs directly in this forum. The only thing the GM was able to tell me that the change was intended, but the reason is still a mistery.

It's because of this, quite correct.

I think they applied stargate jump mechanics to all "jumpable" devices.

Prior to this change it was quite annoying sometimes not being able to jump when cloaked and had to approach the gate first or decloak manually which would imply an additional click.

I guess, now, they fixed this by automatic approach on jump, however this logic unintentionally applied for acc gates too, which worked other way than regular stargates and allowed cloaky warping in contrast to cloaky jumping.
