Cloaking Mechanics?

Hi,

A couple questions regarding cloaking mechanics: What happens if I'm targeting someone who cloaks, but immediately de-cloak before the targeting is complete? Will I target him as normally, or will it interrupt and I would need to re-target?

What happens if two cloaked ships get within 2km of each other?

Your targeting will succeed as the check is made when your attempt to target completes

cloaked ships do not decloak each other.

If you manage to pull that of, please explain in detail how you did that because I sure as hell can not. The lock fails every time and those cloakies escape.

When all is said the real answer is that it depends on the server tick processing cycle and the latency of your connection, these articles may shed some light on the process and help you figure it out.

Depending on what actually stuck with stealth bombers ...
... it's either nothing or decloak.

I think it's decloaking but google will definitely tell you.
