Re: Satellite Cloaking
I'd forgotten about this one, too. I was fooled by the fact that you can order satellite Groups to cloak and uncloak, and there is a symbol for the group.

Re: Satellite Cloaking
Hehe, I've been aware of the bug for so long that I had forgotten you even could give the sat group the cloak and decloak order. Although it doesn't do anything. That really makes it look like they can be uncloaked if you aren't aware of the bug. I believe fighters have the same problem, although in the stock game there is no component to cloak a fighter with. Some mods do though.

Re: Satellite Cloaking
When there is one present,
The best place to "cloak" a sat is in a storm that is opaque to most scanners.
Gotta love those FQMs

Re: Satellite Cloaking
Has anyone written a comprehensive summary on cloaking? Something that answers questions concerning if/when combat occurs, what and when ships can be seen, energy effects, combat effects, detection (if, when and ranges), ad nauseum....
A forum search turned up dozens of snippets, but no single story on the subject.

It's kinda hard to write it down all in one place, but a start can be seen here: {Wiki:}
Explanations tend to go like this: A level 1 tachyon sensor penetrates a cloak level of 2 which is generated by a cloaking device level 1 but only for a cloak type of EM Active ...
Bah, if ships appear out of nowhere, research better sensors. |
