When AI cloaks... does it work?

I am playing a game where the Darloks have ships with stealth armor. I can see all their ships, but several have an orange, dash-lined circle around them (on main display) - does this mean they are cloaking? And if so, how why I see them??

Yep

>And if so, how why I see them??
I can see two options:

- Have you Recon Satellites with some kind of sensor (Gravitic, Optical, Temporal, etc), or maybe a ship with one of those sensors?

- Have you a Partnership treaty with the Darloks?

No, no sensors yet. And we are at war. It must be a bug...

I'm using the TDM modpack and cloaking seems to work. The EEE have researched it and were using it pretty effectively until I got sensor ships/sats in sysetm.

Jason2 - are you running any other Mods other than TDM Mod Pack?

While reading another thread I got an idea: maybe you're seeing a mixed fleet? E.g., some ships in the fleet have stealth armor & are therefore cloaked, but some don't have stealth armor and are therefore not cloaked?

ISTR there's an "omnipresent" or "omniscient" setting that allows you to see all systems, and that sometimes that setting will allow you to see cloaked ships...
