Cloaking: Difference between revisions

Line 40:

* Being within 2000 m from any object will prevent ships from cloaking and cause cloaked ships to decloak. This includes often ignored objects such as jettisoned cans, corpses, collidable structures, drones, and gas clouds.

** Missiles '''will decloak''' cloaked ships.

** Exceptions: Cloaked ships and scanner probes do not decloak cloaked ships. As a side-effect of this, multiple cloaked ships in the same spot will not collide with one another, however if one of them decloaks they will all forcibly decloak and potentially be sent bouncing away from each other.

** Exceptions: Cloaked ships and scanner probes do not decloak cloaked ships. As a side-effect of this, multiple cloaked ships in the same spot will not collide with one another, however if one of them decloaks they will all forcibly decloak and potentially be sent bouncing away from each other. Also, snowballs and fireworks will not decloak.

* Being targeted will prevent a ship from cloaking. This includes being targeted by an NPC or a passive targeting module which does not show as yellow box.

** However, only completed target locks will prevent cloaking. If the cloaking device activates before a target lock is established, the targeting attempt will fail.

* If you are already cloaked you cannot cloak. This may seem like a non-problem but this will force you to break the gate cloak (see below) before you can activate your cloaking module, and in the process briefly reveal yourself.

* Faction police and CONCORD ships ~~are able to~~ locate cloaked ships. If you are being chased by either of them due to low standing or criminal action they will warp to you even if you are cloaked.

* Faction police and CONCORD ships can locate cloaked ships. If you are being chased by either of them due to low standing or criminal action they will warp to you even if you are cloaked.

* 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.
