How do the new ship trails interact with cloaking devices? Do they cut off at the point your ship cloaks and the rest of the trail stays as normal or does the whole trail disappear? I can't get on the test server to find out.
I hope for the first one as it will give better Intel on a target ships direction although I know most pilots will alter direction after cloaking some won't Twisted

CCP already answered this in the blog thread.

aww that sucks. The trail should end when you cloak, but remain there and fade out.

Never cared to check the guns at least USED to just pop in and out and not fade you think they gona make something not attached to the ship fade? lol

You think CCP really changed? This is just all quick easy **** to stop everyone from quitting... I am sure it is WAY harder to make the trails fade than just go byebye.

Eve is being turned into a money whore, nothing more.

I still love the sub + pay items. I mean I am all for a WoT style 50% faster train if you sub deal and making it F2P. Money whore...

Well... for the moment anyway.. yes. So many of us have been calling for years specifically for a lot of these little changes and bug fixes. CCP themselves have admitted that they were essentially neglecting eve for the last two years, not that we needed them to tell us that since it was obvious.

There's a lot more little things that need to be dealt with, gameplay to be refined, and things to be redone and updated. I hope they stay on this path and continue to focus on eve as they are now.


To address the OP's question, yes it likely would be a bit harder to maintain the trails after cloak. That said I don't see it as a big deal because the trails are fast enough where they really would only hang out for a very short period of time anyway. Regardless it's a fine idea and I would welcome it if it came.
