Yes that is how it would happen. Or even if your partner was partner with a partner with a partner ... no matter how many levels it goes.

But if that were the case ... you should have seen everything your enemy had. So if you don't remenber seeing all that, then I don't know what's the cause.

It is pretty funny tho ... I didn't understand at first how an enemy was able to track my cloaked scout -- I didn't know that's what partnerships mean.

Recently I was at war with just about everybody, and a neutral wanted to be partners -- and everyone was partners with at least some one else. So I said yes. And saw the entire map, and all ships cloaked or not, and IIRC all SRY. And of course, they saw all mine. So I made some mental notes of where to hit and broke the treaty.

Yeah, that was a little cheezy -- but these were TDM races. I need every trick I can get.

[EDIT] I think somebody said that partnership cloaked ships only show up if some partner has a sensor to penetrate the cloak -- even if it's your own ship with cloak and sensor Which is really too funny -- it was my own scout that gave away it's position.
