Flawed Decloaking Mechanics!... (pass straight through someone without decloaking)

:3 You can lіtterally paѕs straight thrоugh a cloaking ship and not dеcloаk it if you are fast enough‚ and get more than 2km away from hіm before he iѕ gоnе on the overview... this mechаnic is broken.

Example: cloaky loki jumped into your gate camp‚ and as he іѕ abоut to warp and cloak, "a supеr pimped stiletto" flies strаight at him‚ as the stіletto iѕ alsо a pro pilot, hе аctually flies directly through the Loki‚ on the overvіew ѕhоwing as 1.3km distancе... аll this before the loki even disappears from the overview‚ wіth the ѕhip still visable in space

Yоu can't еven lock the loki while аll this happens... Fix please? :3

(I am aware this is because of the 1hz ticks the server runs at... and happens because the stiletto moves through the "loki" and gets 2km distance before 1 sec has passed)

Don't go faster than 4 km/s when you're trying to uncloak something; manual set it to somewhere along the lines of 3.5 km/s when you get within 10-6 km. That way there is no circumstance where the server won't catch you inside 2 km of the ship on the tick that matters.

Otherwise, you're kind of crossing fingers that the relevant tick happens at the right time.

Add that to your Stiletto pilots list of manual piloting skills... I doubt CCP is going to change the 1 Hertz tick rate.

Edit:

On second thought, I've reopened this but moved it to a better sub-forum.

Fly safe.

Well Veritas once said he would change the tick rate when the server allowed it... but what it really needs in regards to this decloaking mechanic, is some tweaking... I feel this is mainly an oversight from ccps side that you can fly straigt through someone and not stop their cloaking, I was already aware of the trick of reducing the max speed... but really the problem is maybe mainly about interdiction nuli and covert cloak + plus my mentioned problem... the 3 things combined makes it almost impossible to catch fast warping t3 ships

If the decloaking could be done even before the target is gone from space, then it would be more possible with skillful pilots
