That's different, if that happens you just tried to decloak on the wrong account.



Well that would be possible if i was running a second account at that point, to which i wasn't/ and even if i was that character would of been docked on in a pos.

Seen a few people complain about randomly decloaking on a POS - assumed they done it accidentally or something but enough complaints that there is potentially an issue there.

Didn't know about the decloak if a combat site despawns though (something I'll have to remember to keep in mind - not had it happen to me in the past but I've not been that active for the last few months) but was aware they despawn if there is no uncloaked player on grid.

Have noticed an increased number of random decloaks though - usually midwarp which I'd put down to assuming I'd crosswarped someone or something that had caused the decloak and left it at that.

That's the thing, we've had two pilots experience this, one of which has multiple accounts, but only had one logged on at the time, and the other pilot has just his one toon.

The latter though is responsible for the phrase "I'm tired of my Tengu, I'll just let the sleepers kill it," so it's entirely possible he was tired of his Manticore...

Can you hear them? They are calling to us. It is beautiful. http://thegreattichim.wordpress.com/

It has happened to me as well.

In my experience sites despawn if you're cloaked in them. I've had it decloak me out to 250km, but never past that. I've also had it not decloak me when I was closer than 100km. Personal theory is distance from object, not distance from beacon. If true, in the largest site this could mean you'd have to be 350/400 off depending on the number and position of large collidable objects.

All that said, if you've got 2 SB's and the noctics is alone on field it should be dead. You're waiting too long to gank. The second it's alone it's go time.

The other weird decloaking I've had is fricking gas sites. 50km off both clouds (not visual, 50km off clouds on overview), overview tab with ALL on-grid objects and nothing showing within 20km and yet... cloak drops. This I've seen 3 times, each time in a gas site. Now I'm extra careful about collecting warp-ins for gas sites.

Prior to being in EOL, I had a scanner cloaked in a safe spot in a hole I was going to expo. Went afk a while, came back to my pod in a station. Created the safe while cloaked and warping, no other accounts running at the time, no animals to stroll across my keyboard. I'm a believer in cloak glitches, however rare they may be.

From what I remember, it's happened to me every time we leave our Noctis in the site cloaked after it's done salvaging.


leaving the site and coming back to a bookmark once it's already despawned resolves this potential issue

Yes - I've experienced this same thing once in a gas site. Was very frustrating since I was 30km away from the nearest everything. sigh :ccp

If memory serves, at one times anomalies did NOT despawn if someone was cloaked in them. I am pretty sure of this, because I seem to remember that during my first stint in null, we identified where cloakies were hanging in system if sanctums that had been finished still lingered in system. Later on, so players could not be griefed by AFK cloakers causing the sites not to de-spawn, it was changed so that anomalies would despawn as long as there was no one visible on grid--IE, cloaked. These changes were not recent if I do remember correctly.

Whether this affects cloaked ships on grid, I have no idea.
