When you hear "warp drive activated" you can activate your cloak without making an error.

I never wait that long. Well, maybe I do. Its automatic. I don't listen for anything. Just gotta have some rhythm.

Your logs should show you if you were unable to cloak due to an object in space. If there was no object in space, then you simply messed up the timing of the button press.

Princess Nexxala told me how to find my logs. There was a wreck within 2000m that prevented me from cloaking. It surprised me because I warp/cloak all the time, but in the flurry of events, I didn't know why my cloak hadn't worked. I guess I didn't notice the message because I was focusing on the two reds at the gate.

Bad luck, but then again you have some time of gatecloak to assess your situation.

Coming out of a gate jump right next to a wreck is seriously bad luck. The only thing you could have done there was to have a bracket/overview profile that shows everything. I routinely fly with all brackets on specifically so I can see things that may decloak me.

Let us assume that you had known the wreck was there for a moment. In this kind of situation, pretty much your only course of action is to try to crash the gate and hope they only have warp disruptors, not scramblers, and not too many webbers.

I always have my log window up so I can see error messages like this one. It has saved me on more than one occasion.

Jump gate

Wait 5 seconds (or not if you were not cloaked before jumping gate)

Warp to whatever you want

Wait for half a second the auras voice should start.

Hit Cloak

Wait to see the cloak button go green.

If cloak button doesnt go green, wait another second, it will go green.

Double hitting the cloak at this point will make it go red.


The most important step in this process is that 0.5-1 second wait in between warping and hitting hte cloak. Hit the cloak too soon after hitting warp and IT WILL NOT REGISTER.

And as others have said, you need to wait out any cool down for the cloak you got on the other side of the gate.

Also, being near any debris or drones/ships will prevent you from cloaking too, so if you know you are jumping into a sizeable fleet, be aware of that risk.

As I'm in the "Eve has sound?" group, I tend to look at my capacitor for the clue as to when to activate my cloak.
