My question is if you are cloaked and use a passive targeter on an enemy ship will you uncloak or will you remain cloaked until you fire or make another aggressive move.

From my experience the passive targeter only works for 5 seconds (10 for T2) and stops working after that (regardless of if you keep trying to activate it).
So, unless it has changed in the last 3 months, I doubt it would be very helpful, and it would be better to use that slot for something more helpful.
Just my opinion. ______________________________________

You cannot target anything while cloaked (passive or otherwise).

Cant target anything while cloaked.
To get a passive lock, activate the passive targeter (flashing mod), then target stuff.
It will turn off after one cycle, but you have a lock they cant see until you activate an agressive module (ship scanner etc dont count).

The main (only?) use of passive targeters is for scanning passing industrial ships without them knowing: scanners are not considered an agressive action and will not make your lock appear.

About "can't see" I'd like to know this:
- Having been in FW and now in 0.0 I know very well about the "noise" and also about the graphics of a "regular" lock.
Now, when I leave i.e. Jita or Dodixie on my freighter alt, I usually see a guy in an Harpy (or other ships) that does not do any "lock noise" but I still see his overview icon flashing in an odd way, like concentric red squares zooming in and out. Is it the passive lock? Don't think so. Is it a cargo scanner in action then? In that case I do know they are locking me, it's just a bit less obvious. - Auditing and consulting

Wait I was wrong. You can and heres how i did it.
I click on the ship, blinked my eyes real fast, made the targeting sound with my mouth, and quickly drew a white box around it in the overview, stopped blinking, stopped making the sounds, and there it was.

The passive targeting doesnt show on your overview in any way, and doesnt make any noise you could hear.
The ship scanning however you can hear the distinctive noise, you wont see anything on overview either but the sound alone should set the careful hauler pilot on paranoia mode.

The careful hauler pilot should have been in paranoia mode prior to pressing Undock. --Vel
