== Countering the Cloak Trick == | |||
The Cloak Trick does not make you immune to destruction when jumping through dangerous space. | |||
In crowded HS systems, including those with numerous Concord or Empire ships around gates, those numerous ships can easily cause you to de-cloak due to proximity. Any object within 2000m will cause cloak to drop. Other gatecamping techniques, such as rushing your (momentarily) visible ship with drones after gate cloak drops, or rushing you with a fast frigate, can also trigger the cloak to drop. | |||
Ships of all sizes but especially large slow ships are also vulnerable to bumping, meaning if a larger ship is able to "ram" you while you are cloak + aligning, you will uncloak and temporarily be unable to achieve proper alignment. For these reasons, the Cloak Trick will not provide guaranteed protection in dangerous space or in crowded gates. | |||
