'''Cloaking''' allows a ship to become completely invisible to almost all forms of detection. The ability to disappear from view offers many obvious tactical advantages allowing you to observe ~~whithout~~ being seen, launch surprise attacks or to slip away from dangers.

* Offensive area-of-effect modules such as [[Bombs]] and [[Smartbombs]] will ''damage'' cloaked ships but will ''not'' decloak them.

* [[Command Bursts]] do not apply to cloaked ships.

* In lowsec and nullsec (but not highsec, wormhole space, Pochven, or ~~dead space~~ including Abyssal deadspace) it is possible to deploy a [[Mobile_structures#Mobile_Observatory|Mobile Observatory]], which has a 40% chance to decloak a cloaked ship in its system every 10 minutes.

* In lowsec and nullsec (but not highsec, wormhole space, Pochven, or deadspace including Abyssal deadspace) it is possible to deploy a [[Mobile_structures#Mobile_Observatory|Mobile Observatory]], which has a 40% chance to decloak a cloaked ship in its system every 10 minutes.

** Cloaked ships are immune to Mobile Observatories for the first 15 minutes that they are cloaked: this time is represented by the "cloak stabilization" timer visible above the circular capacitor / hit points / heat indicator in the bottom-centre of your screen.

** Observatories were added to the game to discourage players from leaving their characters cloaked up in a system for hours without even being present at their computers.
