Ok here is the thing. . .first time I was 50km away from station looking for targets of opportunity in a stealth bomber. I suddenly randomly uncloak and get to make a wtf run gateway
Another time I am on a gate. . . and I also randomly uncloak as soon as this enemy guy from alliance X (no names. . but guess) starts aligning towards me. Get popped before I get chance to warp off :/
So were did I go wrong? I was nowere near anything that could uncloak me. . .I had at least 5km around me clear :/

Only thing I can think of is that you may have misjudged your distance. It's easy to get de-cloaked on a gate, if someone jumps through, and pops up behind you. You may not even notice they're there, and it de-cloaks you. Don't forget either, drones, containers etc can break your cloak. I try to leave around 10km just to be safe when I'm flying cov-ops.
Hope it helps, -Cailan

Thank you for your kind advice. I did have this happening to me before. This time I am 100% sure there was nothing around me so I have no idea how the hell it happened.
And yes I do have ppl randomly approaching me while cloaked. Once this dramiel guy sped into me and bumped me. . .decloaked me and his friends popped me. I thought it was a lucky bump. Second time I saw this happen I just ran before he bumped me. . .
Guess some people can see more than the common pilots

What about probes?
I have been playing around with scan probes lately and suddenly realized they're physical items in space when I launch them around me. I usually had the map up when I started but this time I was looking at something while launching them.
Do you have probes on your overview? Can they uncloak you?

I have had this happen to our target when I was part of a roam in fountain. Our fleet was hanging at a gate waiting for a ship that our scout had noticed to jump thru. He did, and pretty much immediately he had jumped he appeared on overview BUT we couldnt lock him. He was unmoving (waiting in his gatecloak) in space visible, and we could approach him, but we couldn't lock him.
Needless to say moving toward him made him 'uncloak' and we could lock him, and he went down quickly after that. One of our guys theorized that he was actually supposed to have been gatecloaked, which is the why we couldnt lock him, but he was still actually visible in the overview at least and we could still approach him.
In case the guy sent a petition, this happened in P5-EFH, 2011-07-11 17:35:00. I would confirm that there was something fishy going on.
edit: Vkhaun Vex: probes are physical objects and visible on the grid and overview if you have those settings on. And yes they can uncloak you.

Now this is wierd because this all happened in Fountain for me as well. . .
And I did not have just jumped so no gatecloak both when I was near the gate and also when I was near station.
Will send a petition and see if there is some wierd bugs going on.
Also. Corpses DO decloak you because I had that happen to me recently while scooping up a corpse (Hey I wanna keep track of my prizes)

Good day:
This happened to me last night when I was close to 200km from a gate, just slow boating to a celestial in the opposite direction. Nothing nearby to uncloak, and all of a sudden uncloaked.
Thank you.

Apparently DCing causes you to decloak.. perhaps you DCd.. but was unaware, because you was AFK

Lol no I confirm that I was neither AFK nor disconnected.
Infront of station. . .random decloak infront of a whole fleet. . .I gtfo due to the fact that 9second recloak time is enough to get targets on me and fire and grind a Purifier into pulp. . .
On the gate it was a different story. Random decloak and a wtfbbq moment as I get pwned by a caldari HAC which was long range fitted.

What probably happened is you jumped into a new system, uncloaked from your jump cloak, then quickly recloaked. However, in the second you're uncloaked someone can hit approach on you. Once you cloak that approach stops, but if they manually set their speed to full again and they're quick about it, they'll still head towards your direction. --- Drykor - AHARM |

I had this same think happen to me in Fountain twice. Was off a station at about 250km and there I go uncloaking with hostiles at the station. Happened a few weeks ago and I wasnt paying attention and got popped from a sniper ship. Something defiantly to this.

Corpses..... factional navy (if in empire), billboards, just about anything will uncloak you. Corpses are especially nasty obstacles since if you dont have them showing on overview its pretty much impossible to spot them.

Yes, they can. As with most other objects though, sometimes you can approach one when already cloaked and it wont decloak you. Just as sometimes you can plow right into a gate and not decloak, or sometimes you can warp into a POS forcefield and not decloak,etc. This signature space for rent |

i saw the exact same thing about a week ago, couldn't lock but could still see him on overview except in our case we couldn't decloak i was about 500m from him then when he got within jump range he decloaked about 5km away from me

Couldn't be some kind of botting technique?
Some bots work by cracking the data stream between ccp and the client. What if someone could read out your position?

Edited by: MisterRiz on 20/07/2011 17:22:35 Edited by: MisterRiz on 20/07/2011 17:22:04 Sorry to bump but I noticed it's pretty recent. There is definitely some issue going on here, I also thought I'd missed stuff that isn't on my overview. However I've just been sat orbiting a wormhole at 90 for a while - nothing has come onto the grid, nothing other than the hole on overview after hitting select all - and I just uncloaked again
For some reason it still only happens when the ship is moving. I never happens when I leave my ship motionless.

I lost a mant to this crap. Was 10km under a station lining up a bomb run on a goons fleet when I was decloaked by nothing. Soon at it happened I checked my distance to other ships and the station. Nothing near me.

Sorry guys. I've been cloaked for hours AFK, as well as hours while I was at the PC over the last few days. Ship moving, not moving. Haven't been decloaked once. Gotta assume y'all either talking out your asses or are getting uncloaked for a legitimate reason.

There it is fellas. It hasn't happened to Cyzlaki so it must be false.

This has been around for some time now, think it came with Incarna but might have been an earlier patch even.
