Cloaking devices are highs slot modules that allow ships to turn invisible.

Once the module is activated the ship will turn invisible immediately. You will see the cloaking animation on your own ship but other players will just see your ship disappear. Equally when you uncloak your ship becomes visible instantly when the cloaking module is deactivated.

Cloaking is a nuanced mechanic and knowing the exact way it interacts with other aspects of the game is important.

Once the cloaking module is activated the ship will turn invisible immediately. You will see the cloaking animation on your own ship but other players will just see your ship disappear. Equally when you uncloak your ship becomes visible instantly when the cloaking module is deactivated.

While active the cloak will prevent activation of all modules. Hovewer you can activate non-offensive modules during first 5 seconds of being cloaked. Modules that are active before cloaking will also finish their cycles. But some modules, such as MJD, will also decloak the ship if they cycle while cloaked. You are also unable to set modules to overheated state while you are cloaked.

~~Every time you~~ jump ~~through~~ a stargate or wormhole your ship will be cloaked when it lands on the other side.

Gate cloak, also known as jump cloak, is effect every ship gets when they jump thrpugh a stargate or a wormhole. Every time you jump your ship will be cloaked when it lands on the other side.

The gate cloak beahavior is different from cloaking modules. The gate cloak, unlike cloak from modules, is completely immune to everything and can not be broken by outside effects. While under the effects of gate cloak your ship is completely immune to every single possible offensive effect including area of effect. You can not be uncloaked, hit by area of effect weapons such as smarbombs or be bumped by ships. Effectively your ship does not exist while under effects of gate cloak.

~~This~~ gate cloak will last for 60 seconds or until you move~~, activate any module or target anything~~ with you ship. As soon as the gate cloak id broken by the timer running out or by ship actions the ship will immediately become visible. The 60 second gate cloak timer is visible on the upper left corner.

The gate cloak will last for 60 seconds or until you move (including warping and fleet warping) with you ship. As soon as the gate cloak id broken by the timer running out or by ship actions the ship will immediately become visible. The 60 second gate cloak timer is visible on the upper left corner.

It is often best to take full advantage of the 60 second gate cloak and assess the situation you jumped in very carefully. Look at the ships on grid, player names in local, objects in directional scan and decide what actions you will take before you break the gate cloak.
