Default Cloaked Vessels and Partnership

Can you see cloaked vessels owned by an empire that you have a Partnership or a Military Alliance with?

Only if there is some other vessel in the system that would be allow you to see it.

  • One of your ships with scanners
  • Another one of his ships with scanners
  • A ships of a third empire that you have a partnerships with that has a scanner
  • If none of the above apply, then if his ship that is cloaked also has a scanner, you will be able to see it (This one is kind of wierd if you ask me, but that's how it is)

When you post, there are "list-start" "list-item" and "list-end" buttons. Use them, and they generate:
  • [ LIST]
  • [ *]a
  • [ /LIST]

The "easy" answer might be something like this:
in a partnership, you receive your partner's "line of sight" - in other words, you can see "through" his ships and units and "through" his sensors.

This means that if he has a cloaked ship you can see "through" it (you see the system it is in) but you cannot see the cloaked ship itself (unless you have access to some sensors, either yours or from any partner empire).

Anyway, I think there are some bugs in the game. In some cases (including two out of four of my current PBW games) I receive the line of sight of an empire with which I haven't a Partnership... Has anyone else experience such a possible bug?

Version 1.56:
16. Fixed - Fixed a problem where chains of partnership treaties would not allow all players to see with all other players sight. A->B, B->C = A->C.
