Satellites

Is it possible to launch cloaked satellites in a pbw game?? i don't have the time to test this myself so i ask here.
First, you deploy sats, then you cloak them, then you recover them with a transporter and are they still cloaked, when you relaunch them from the satbay?

thanks for the help, Dubrok

I've never tried it. You'll have to wait on someone else, I think.

relanch is not cloaked
loaing into bay rests status
just like loadig and unloading fightes refuels them

ok, thank you.

would have been nice if you could have launched cloaked satellites in pbw games, because the enemy would not know that you deployed them, just like mines (unless they have scanners...)
now i need to do it in another way :-)

Sats that have stealth armour are automaticly cloaked when launched.
Thy enemy won't see them unless he has scanners.
It doesn't show from your point of view that they are cloaked, you can still engage and disengage cloaking, but that has no function.
Sats with stealth armour are cloaked, period.

so it is quite useless to put 100 sats at a warppoint if there is one with stealth armour??
they won't fire because they are all cloaked? good to know!
And even if i decloak them manually this doesn't work?
