NoScream Amarr Interstellar Brotherhood of Gravediggers The 0rphanage	Posted - 2011.01.22 22:22:00 - [31] These arre strange times, CCP will rarely give you any positive help. Travel with care, I have a blockade runner, freighter pilot & jump freighter pilot, I take no chances, always forward scout with an alt. My main is a pvp chr: and it's hard for us too as all the f---in neutrals are on view. Naughty Naughty !!
Sathiran Endis	Posted - 2011.01.23 01:40:00 - [32] This happened to me a few days ago with my cov ops T3. I hit cloak and warp ASAP, but incoming 15-man fleet lagged the cloak and caught me. Petition didn't help at all, so it's either live with the risk, use a scout or don't fly with cov ops cloak at all.

Now it's pretty obvious that by looking at the logs my ship should of been cloaked. You can see when I hit align.. Then when I hit MWD it's giving the typical error stating that u can't activate that mod due to having a active cloak.. From the log it's looks like you had gatecloak when you tried to activate your module, and therefore nothing happened apart from you starting to align uncloaked... Now why you had gatecloak two seconds after starting alignment is another matter entirely. I believe it is lag issues that can make this client-server desync with such results.
Lilla Kharn Amarr	Posted - 2011.01.24 14:02:00 - [34] Originally by: Kruz Sanar Edited by: Kruz Sanar on 21/01/2011 00:13:42 Originally by: Idicious Lightbane Protip: First hit Cloak, THEN MWD. Decreases chances of Cloak not activating in time dew to lag and their insta-locker to pin you down. You still have around a full second after Cloak activates to start a MWD cycle, try it out some-where safe (like high-sec), it works 100% of the time. Negative.. I "always" hit align/cloak then MWD and it didn't work yesterday as mu cloak did not activate even though I now for 100% sure the I hit the button. I'm pretty sure this is a new bug with the latest update and time will soon tell. Edit.. I post the logs from this happening to me.. ------------------------------------------------------------ Gamelog Listener: Kruz Sanar Session started: 2011.01.19 19:58:58 ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 2011.01.19 19:59:08 ] (notify) Aligning to Stargate (Evaulon) [ 2011.01.19 19:59:10 ] (notify) Interference from the cloaking you are doing is preventing your systems from functioning at this time.

Then when I hit MWD it's giving the typical error stating that u can't activate that mod due to having a active cloak.. We all of course know that you can but logs still always show the error. Despite my ship logs show I was cloaked the next thing is the fact that I'm getting targeted and scrambled. Meaning IMO it's pretty obvious this is some new bug. Align =! Uncloak. There sometimes is a 1 or 2 second delay in between the notification and the uncloak. You felt it wrong. ============================================= "Only the dead have seen the end of war" - Plato

That does look like the time for gate cloak has increased horribly, it used to be the case it would barely last a second after you hit align so I gotta say I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but the gate cloak aint one :( But just while Im poastin, heres The MWD cloak trick or "how to safely cloak warp an orca" (lag aside) Ingredients 1x Improved cloaking device II 2x Inertia stabilizers II 1x Quad LIF fueled booster rockets 3x Large Engine Thermal Shielding Good navigation skills Thermodynamics Couple of points... use inertia stabilizers over nanofibres, nano's increase speed as well as manouverability which means it takes longer to reach the magical 75& top speed required to initiate warp. The engine thermal shielding is used to increase the cycle duration of your MWD, giving you longer to accelerate before you have to uncloak. Use the F keys to activate modules, this is a more reliable method of activation, reducing the chance of missclicks or lag. Given that lag seems to have increased the time between activations Id also definately recommend practicing timings somewhere safe before you have to try this under threat of fire. Recipe 1) Select your celestial to warp to 2) Hit align 3) after a brief pause, activate cloak using F1/F2/F3 or whatever 3) After activating your cloak, you have up to about 3.5 seconds to activate your MWD, leave it as long as you can (once again increasing the time your accelerating under cloak). use this couple of seconds to set your MWD to overheat 4) Activate MWD 5) Deactivate MWD while still under cloak, it will finish its cycle quite happily but prevents you uncloaking just before the cycle finishes and letting the MWD perform another cycle (which is bad) 6) With your very twitchy cursor hanging over the "warp to" button, use the F key of choice to deactivate the cloak just as the MWD finishes its cycle. 7) Spam warpto like your ship depends on it, drink in the howls of outrage from the local pirates as your orca vanishes into the sunset Its not foolproof, nothing in eve is, but this tactic will give your non covops ship the very best chance of making it past a gate camp. Yes the sebo'ed inty pilot junked up on three double espressos will still lock you in that second or so before your cloak engages, or very possibly get there and uncloak you before you warp, but its still better than nothing. Happy warping

FlopSter Caldari Paragon Fury Cascade Imminent	Posted - 2011.01.26 15:20:00 - [37] I notice the same type of issues since the last patch. More specifically, when decloaking from after jumping through a gate when you hit align there appears to be more of a delay when you can activate modules than there was before. It is almost as if your client now needs to get a check back from the eve servers now to see if you are properly decloaked before you can cloak again. Sounds like we all just need to slow our roll a bit, but this might put an advantage in the hands of gate camps/etc for catching cloakies with high scan res ships now. I didn't even bother trying to lock covert ops type ships because it was a waste of time before, but now there might be a higher chance of snatching them before they can cloak
Zyann	Posted - 2011.01.27 19:39:00 - [38] If you don't like Gatecamp Online, you can always leave or turn to a profession which involves no gatecamps (although it's not very easy to find one).
