Actual cloaking of the ship is delayed compared to TQ, is this intended or a nerf to cloaking? |

It happens in space too. I had a Pali with only the nose showing and it didn't even have a cloak. Any bug reports I send come back with an already aware reply so, no. I didn't send one. |

Decloaking ships of third parties pop into visibility - while their cloak effect covers the full ship at the start - which doesn't look that nice (while the cloak effect itself surely does!). It's technically not possible to achieve something like this, right?
(Only showing the edge of the cloak where stuff happens and the already decloaked part of the ship, while keeping the part yet to decloak transparent)

Personally, I hope that's exactly how the cloak ends up working. Do remember that this is still WiP. |

Harkin Issier wrote:Sir Constantin wrote:The new cloak effect is awesome but it should be used as a transition from visible to invisible. Currently it looks kinda weird, like your ship is packaged in a bubble wrap. I sorta agree. I think that currently the effect is too pronounced. Perhaps during the transition it has bright hexes, then when you're fully invisible the effect damps and softens, lowering brightness and muting the hexes. Yes, please iterate on this effect: the hex cell size is very small, and the chromatic distortions do look something like "bubble wrap." If the art dept is set on this hex pattern, versus some other shape or no hex overlay at all... please try increasing the cell size x4, thicker cell borders, spacing... brightness variations like Harkin suggests. I think the swirly animation layer below the hex grid overlay is interesting enough on its own, as I wrote here. Please inject some more chaos and randomness, break up the pattern :) |

The hexagons are not affected by the distance to the ship that's cloaked anyway. Just like an effect fixed to the top level of the screen being a mask applied to a cloaked object where the underlying cloakiness is an animated and semitransparent texture which replaces the standard one (set shaders to medium/low to hide the hexagons to see that one).
I panned and zoomed out/in while recoding this GIF, you'll notice there's no change to the size/position of the hexagon.

The new iteration of the cloak effect (sisi build 824028) disabled the underlying texture. Showing only the hexagons makes it hard to find the ship with high settings, nearly impossible with medium/low. Not intended, I guess? But the updated transition graphics look nice!

Yeah, I flipped out, threw my coffee, shouted at a bunch of people and began to weep in counterpoint to my teeth gnashing/shirt ripping/hair pulling episodes. Then someone mentioned that this isn't final and changes are still being made to the effect which will increase low and medium shader setting visibility and adjust the high settings version as well.
But I would be remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to thank you for your continued observations and calm reactions.
Also bonus credit to anyone pleasantly noting that this is not a functionality change for the cloaking mechanic, just a graphic one for the cloaking effect.

Oh come on, now. It's not that bad, even if it does need to be about 20% faster.
Besides, there are plenty of videos recorded by now showing Avatars and Ragnaroks and I believe even a Leviathan cloaking and decloaking. CCP Manifest even made one. |

Cloak definately needs transition from visible to invisible. Once the effect has fully engulfed the ship it just pop disappears and it looks kinda silly.
Just fade it out at the end so it isnt as silly. |

i am wondering... is the wh effect proceduraly generated (particle system or similar) or are those just a few really smart texture transformations?
fake edit: i mean the new effect reminding on Aurora borealis, not the wh itself

The new cloaking effect is even much better than on the first sisi build. I notice that when you deactivate the cloak, the hexes change their shape immediately even though the cloaking effect takes time to fade away. But at least now you have some instant visual feedback when your ship decloaks.
I think more would be better, that is, a decloaking effect that is way faster a more spectacular. After all, when you cloak, it takes time to dissapear from other's overview, so it makes sense to have a slow effect. But when you decloak, you reappear instantly! Thus the decloaking effect should be faster too! 
Like in some movies! The ship takes time to cloak, but when it decloaks to make a surprise attack, its instantaneous.

What if:
The Pilot of the cloaked ship can see the animated texture from the first build (and the hexagon overlay) all the time.
Third Parties never see the animated texture, only the hexagon overlay (first) and transition effect of the current build, during cloak activation/deactivation of other ships.
That way, both pilot and third parties should experience no hard visual change during the transitions.

Very nice new cloacking but here a suggestion : the spreading of the cloacking field is almost white. Could it be a color related to the race of the ship ? Or related to the color scheme of the ship ? |

Is the cloaking effect the same for all ship races? i.e: Is a Caldari ship cloaking different to Gallente, Amarr, Minmatar, etc ?

pour ma part je trouve que appel+¬ un (force recon ship) un (vaisseau de reconnaissance furtif) na aucun sens, pour que tout le monde ce comprenne sur EvE il faudrait que la traduction soit concentr+¬ sur la definition, et non pas changer tout les termes de EvE.
ont ne dit pas un micropropulseur de warp , ont dit un Microwarpdrive.
example
Microwarpdrive
Puissante augmentation de la vitesse pendant un laps de temps tr+¿s limit+¬. La pouss+¬e appliqu+¬e au vaisseau et le bonus de vitesse maximale correspondant sont limit+¬s par la masse du vaisseau qui utilise ce module. La quantit+¬ d'+¬nergie n+¬cessaire pour alimenter ce syst+¿me signifie qu'il faut r+¬server en permanence une partie de la production du capacitor pour maintenir l'int+¬grit+¬ du champ de confinement du warp, et qu'une fois activ+¬, il augmente consid+¬rablement l'empreinte +¬lectromagn+¬tique du vaisseau
et quand j'ai vus le Blockade runner, lol (vaisseaux de transport forceurs de blocus) arr+¬t+¬, il y a une langue sur eve et c'est l'anglais,mais je suis tout a fait d'accord de mettre les explicatifs en fran+ºais pour que nous comprenions, mais je me vois ma all+¬ sur le chan de trade et demander un BPO de vaisseaux de transport forceurs de blocus et vais plus demander un BPO de Blockade runner .
de plus un BPO , ce n'est pas un (plan de construction) c'est un blueprint
pour conclure tout devrais rester comme c'+¬tais , mais juste traduire les d+¬finitions et les explicatifs de mission , mais toujours en gardant les noms et terme originaux , comme +ºa tout le monde va ce comprendre sur EvE.

Can we have a nice sound effect to the cloak? Please?
And audible by the entire grid (like the warp-in/out) so you definitely know what follows when you hear 30-40 bombers uncloaking next to you.
It will be so epic!
Reference: Starlancer Intro - the French and Italian fleet annihilation by the Coalition
( http://youtu.be/Yp_IB8ZLcFc?t=38s )
P.S. Are hexes proportional to the model size? From the videos i've seen it seems that they scale with maximum zoom level... for lacking better words. It is a bit, well, strange, but if a single hex held uniform size across hulls... i guess a titan would be covered with way too may of them.

After a jump, the "first stage" honeycomb cloak effect is active. It changes immediately to the "second stage" effect and plays the "cloaking finished" sound. This can get really annoying. Please make the "second stage" effect default after jump. |

if you are under gate cloak and you warp + immediately recloak the animation screws up (thats what you typically do when using covops ships)
edti: it also happens when you cload and immediately decloak. Looks like the animation is not interruptable which causes problems.

That bug happened before as well, when they first implemented DX11.

Funny Story (More Funny Oh and not so much Funny Ha Ha):
This is not actually a bug so to speak.
The CreoDron Corp and color scheme have always been green in concept (note the hue of the logo...approved by old Ceul Darieux himself, no doubt), but have crept toward blue bit by bit over time with lighting changes and alterations in our processes. With the new SOF feature, we are finally displaying them as the designers originally intended.
So, one: Thank you! That is exactly the kind of thing we're looking for.
And two: This is not that thing. |

Can anybody confirm that the sound heard whilst cloaked continues to play when cloak is deactivated?
This also is the case for me, when I set the sliders for "Ship Ambiance" and "Atmosphere" to 0.

Nope. Do you maybe mistake it with "Station exterior"? |
