Cloaking Question

Can CONCORD detect a cloaked ship?

I ask because I recently found out the hard way that Blockade Runner "immune to scanners" thing doesn't apply to CONCORD (or specifically NPC customs ships), so now I'm wondering if cloaking would be a waste of time as well?

Has anybody ever tried dousing for a cloaked ship? Supposedly they had people finding submarines that way.

About as effective as most means of finding Boats. Only ASW platform that really scared me were the Orions.

Can't cloak if Faction Police or CONCORD are after you. Can't cause either of those situations while cloaked.

This is true, but does a cloak help you get past the Customs Officers with contraband in your cargo? I think that's what Katran meant to ask.

There are a lot of guides you can find using google search that will explain you a lot better the cloaking mechanics than the answers you'll get here with a question like yours.

Later you'll understand this.

Thanks, but there's some info that simply isn't included in those guides, or its buried and easy to miss. I figure, it never hurts to ask, some of the responses are funny and, if someone does troll, well, I don't mind doing a little troll hunting every once in awhile Big smile

1) Cloaking will not prevent Customs Officers to detect contraband in your cargo
2) Cloaking will prevent Customs Officers to catch you
2) You will be still be loosing faction standing

This means that if you jump gate to gate with contraband cargo, you will get the warnings "You are transporting illegal goods", you will get standing loss for that, but your ship will not be caught or destroyed.

Hey, how come I can't see ships in my overview that are more than 500km away?! fix this. I should be able to see everyone in my overview at all times...... Roll

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

If Chribba is cloaked in a system, will he show up on the overview?

Perhaps if Chribba was hauling illegal contraband a message would display for everyone?

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

A year ago I decided to try this whole AFK cloaking thing out. I got a nemesis and cloaked up in fountain, TEST space. At first the ratters were docked up, but I left my client running for 16 hours and eventually they could no longer resist their greedy urges to rat.

I killed one of their ratting drakes in a haven along with some of their haulers doing PI.

Then they got all cautious again and I recloaked. I went to bed. I woke up 4 hours later for some reason and my computer screen was still on. I got really lucky, because right as I woke up someone asked in local if I was still cloaked up.

I got up and said "Nope" in local and went back to sleep.

AFK cloaking is fine, it's you that are terrible.
