Interesting observations Deathstalker.
Couple of other things that irk me with stealth
1. In simultaneous mode you can't uncloak, attack and cloak again. It would be good if cloaking was an order (that was queued like move,attack etc) instead of something that happens straight away. (I just like to induce paranoia)
2. When a ship with stealth armour runs out of supplies it can't cloak anymore even thou I though the armour didn't use supplies.


Cheers,
Askan

Thanks guys, at least I know I'm not going crazy now. (or getting any crazier that is .)

Liga, I've also noticed the forgetfullness of colony ships, except mine seems limited to forgeting once they pass through wormholes. I find them sometimes several turns later just sitting on a warp point.

The river styx.
Doesn't seem to happen to any other ships though.

On colony ships stopping after warp, isn't there a default setting that ships stop when they sight the enemy?

I think the setting is for all ships - under Empire Options. It's something like "Clear Orders When..."
