Excellent news, so you are not a person which I would refuse to get on the same plane with then. Lol

I hope this bug takes a long time to sort out EvilTwisted

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

It seems the feeling isn't mutual. You speak in mysterious ways, send me EVE mails with common sense tips and beg me not to release the information to the public and cite game mechanics which frankly make no sense. I'd say I appreciate your input to the thread but... No.

Glad you got the ship reimbursed and I said "I would appreciate it", don't know how you got to begging from that. o7

If you have 2 accounts active at the same time on 2 different monitors, it might be possible to press a key on one account when the focus is on the other one. This means that it might be possible to accidentally uncloak your second account without realising it and then find the hostile POS you are scouting has shot your Cov Ops. Of course, this is all theory and can't have happened to anyone 3 times...



this also happened to me multiple times, good catch.

I have no idea why Drac thinks sending an evemail was necessary in a public discussion, but at least he also supports the view that "Eve works in one second ticks, so if you have a ship with the same warp speed they will create safe spots in exactly the same place" wasn't really the best answer to the OP's question:

So neither AFK, or cloaked.

Dracvlad is the only player I know who successfully hunted down and killed an AFK cloaker. His intel capabilities in the background make me eternally glad he's not a merc.

He is also the guy who uncovered the secret funding of the New Order trough the Goons. His vast knowledge about game mechanics and the social structure of EVE are unheard of. A true hero of the people.

How is he doing it?

Kill log?


I think there is something screwy with cloaking since the last patch, I've had RATs burning towards me while cloaked, and when cloaked several 100km's of an Asteroid belt, the RATS spawn within 5-10km of me, instead of the belt.


Human error could be a possibility, I've hit the cloak button to find I didn't click it properly and didn't actually cloak.

The likely hood of someone creating a BM in the same location as you is astronomically high, even with a ship the same warp speed as you. Where you warping cloaked while making the BM's, maybe they managed to scan you down while you were making the BM's.

A very slim chance i will agree but if a ship warps past you and comes within 2500m of you just for a very short amount of time. you will decloak.

you will find this at a heavily traveled station, where ships are flying past you, but even then it rarely happens.

in a safe spot obviously it sounds astronomically small chance to be decloaked in this fashion

As far as I am aware this only happens if the ship is entering or exiting from the same grid. I'm pretty sure that if a ship in warp passes you whilst cloaked but you are not on the same grid that their warp would end or begin upon, then you won't be decloaked. I could be wrong on this as I have never tested it but just always assumed this is how it works.
