Oceanus is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, September 30th! One of the new features of the release is an improved cloaking visual effect. CCP Mannapi has written a blog to introduce the transitions and effects, and I can assure you that staying hidden from sight has never been as fashionable.
Head on over here to read it.

99% awesome!
1% of : I still think that having a decloaking effect that sticks with the "instant appearance on overview" gameplay, would be better.

While the cloaking visual effect is pretty cool. When the heck are you all going to get around to re-working the cloaking mechanic? One of the really cool things about Eve is that for every advantage a player has module-wise on a ship , there is usually some sort of counter. Cloaking is the exception. This topic has been discussed at length everywhere. so I'm not going to repeat, but could we at least get some sort of confirmation that you all are looking at this or that it's on some list of "things to do"? |

I'll have to check it out on sisi.
One thing is I think the graphic spreads too slowly, and confuses people into thinking that their ship isn't fully hidden.
Can we get the cloak animation to match the ~3s that other clients will continue to show ships that have cloaked, regardless of the size of the hull? |

From the devblog:
Quote:The first step was figuring out how to make a ship be both opaque and transparent at the same time. The tech behind the effect also needed to support more than just the cloaking effect since we are also in the process of revamping the Player Owned Starbase (POS) building graphics (more on that later).
Ooh -- I'm looking forward to this, too. Sounds like you guys are attacking starbases from multiple angles.

If I can see my ship cloaked, then so should another player in visual range. Not on overview or dscan, but visually in game. |

Smartbomb / bomb + bumping. You are still vulnerable, although it's hard...That said, It would be nice to have some sort of scanning module that gives you a visual overview of cloaked ship on grid during the short lap time of the scanning processus. With a cool down period of that module making it impossible for one person to keep a visual, it would provide a funny game of mouse and cat.
As for off-grid cloackers, the best way would be to make cloacking device use some kind of fuel (liquide ozone ?). Spying/scouting extended operations on the ground would have to maintain a supply to continue. We could add that, a mechanism that would permits to activate the cloaking device without fuel but for a few seconds only (in order to not completely ruin the navigation capability of cloacker ships)
Anyway, off-topic, but I hearts my proposal that complements well the popular idea of fuel :)

Looking at the effect, it brings me to one conclusion: all the sensors are completely blind. Things that are indended to hide you shouldn't be THAT shiny. Ever!
I'd prefer the current cloaking effect, event hough the transition idea looks good. |

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that picked up on that. Curious now to see what that's looking like.

While effect is nice and cool I admire how you drop those dev blogs at same frequency as you were releasing blogs about industry changes. Quite a disparity in caliber and impact but you dose them as they would cause same amount of attention. Seagull's blog with bullet points of incoming changes would be enough for this very thin release.
Yes, not every release with be earthshaking and big stuff will come when they will be ready but it feels like you try to build a hype just for hype sake.

P. S. or maybe everyone would be able to see this? But then the whole cloaking idea is virtually useless
Maybe it isn't shiny in reality and it is just a visual effect created for the benefit of the pilot just like the sounds we hear while in space. An augmented reality of a sorts to improve the experience and performance of the capsuleer. |

Quote: We had a great session during last Fanfest where it was brought up that pilots had difficulty seeing where their ship was pointed while cloaked.
Oh, yes 
Thank you. The new effect looks GREAT

I can live with this :)
The effects are much improved from what I grumbled about, with a few others, on Sept. 5. It looks reasonable with the "low" shader option, too.
"Player Owned Starbase (POS) building graphics (more on that later)."
I would not get too hyped up over this comment, if you are are thinking new POS designs are imminent. "building graphics" most likely means the graphic effect shown while building. When anchoring modules, they currently "fade in" (decloak...?) at the spot they are anchored. |

My biggest 'concern' (can you be concerned over graphics) is how it will handle rapid activations/deactivations and the transition from gate cloak to module cloak. All the effects we've had to now had a habit of popping a bit in these situations.
If I'm going to accidentally deactivate my cloak and die, I might as well look good doing it.

Do not like it, looks silly, stupid , amateurish even....for goodness sake if you are going to do something do it properly and make the whole ship fade in / out at once...this animation just looks wrong. Certainly nothing real about it. sorry guys but not impressed.

Just 2 questions:
Will we be able to turn it off and have the old effect ?
How long will be client freezed if we hit cloaking-on/off at the same time as we open Peolpe&Places-bookmarks atm it is like 10-20s ?

Judging from the video, I'm not excited tbh...
- The transition effect appears to be way too bright. When I cloak I want to hide - not to perform a fancy light show and draw attention ;-)
- When cloaked, the effect on the ship looks cheap, rather Minecraft-ish - just like it doesn't belong in to EVE
Including guns into the transion, however, is actually nice.
Anyways, so far I liked the cloaking effect of the Trinity expansion best:
Cloaking up the ship from one end to the other and that's it. |

Sad
Fade in / out all at once?
You mean like it currently does?
Nothing real about it?
Where can I get this cloaking spaceship that you've flown before?
You are aware that there are literally dozens of unexplainable mechanics in Eve, right? How do spaceships turn with only one point of thrust? Why don't the planets have orbits? Why can we warp through them? Eve is a game, bro.
As someone who has flown cloaky ships almost exclusively up to this point in their relatively short career, I am very, very happy with the new cloaking effect. It looks totally awesome and I think CCP should keep up their good work towards bringing the Eve UI out of the dark ages.
The new cloaking effect reminds me of Star Trek or something similar.
Big thumbs up from me

The effect looks pretty schmick at close range, but frankly I'm normally viewing the ship from 50km+ away from the ship and looks like Landing Lights on a 747, and continues to blink/twinkle which is annoying because I think that I've been decloaked by something and I have to check the module to make sure it is still on. Maybe something can be done for the LOD past 30Km so that ships are actually invisible and not blinking lights? |
