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?

EDIT: I just realized this is the wrong forum, sorry

you cannot activate cloacking device when you are target locked, if he activate cloacking device during locking procedure though it will immediatelly break the locking procedure [unless this was changed since last time I flied cloacky ships

as for two cloacked ships getting within 2km of each other - both cloacking devices shuts down as regular

Wrong, cloaked ships don't decloak each other.

That was changed about 5 years ago.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

The second point is wrong, but to be fair, i will give you the benefit of the doubt as it was a rumored change back when the fleet warp changes were proposed. Granted that was I think around Christmas, so you are only 9 months behind.

It used to be like that back in the old days. Was changed to what it is now ~2010/2011. Before that, cloaked ships decloaked each other. Was hell a lot of fun and made covert FCing a challenge.
