Hmm, what is 10 light years wide then? I read something along these lines in this forum, but it is likely I misundersoot the post. Is that the width of a system? And yes, you are right, as you can see by looking at the distances on the galaxy map.

That would be one massive system! I think our solar system is about a light hour or so across. It is ~8 light minutes from the Earth to the Sun. A system is a tiny portion of the 10 LY x 10 LY square on the galaxy map.

This was a bug noted with stealth armor on sats. Once installed on one sat in the stack, the enitre stack is cloaked - activated or not.

This is seen as a bug because a cloaked sat stack at the warp point no longer attacks when an enemy comes through.

Well, there is a caveat -- if the enemy fleet has an anti cloak sensor, then they initiate combat after warp.

It happens with cloaked fleets too, it's just that you can turn on and off the fleet cloak. The bug is the sat stack.
