Other question:
can a lock through a passive targeter stop a cov ops ship from cloaking, like standard locking does? Because it's a passive lock, the cov ops doesn't see the yellow brackets so he might think 'wtf?'.

32:1 compression ratio for hauling trit, for instance? Good fun when combined with ship/cargo scanners - I did that quite a lot before we got Warp to 0km. ------
So you're lagged out in Motsu/Saila/Aramachi, but you want that CNR? Do missions for another corp! |

I actually haven't tried this... this sounds horribly evil.

I in the process of gathering info on PT's, as with another post I made there is scarce knowledge on these. AFAIK they are a visual mode that make no impact on the target so do not cause aggression, do not alert the target and as such will not cause a covert to stop cloaking.

I posted this in the Features and Ideas Forum just over a week ago...
Quote: I think it would be a really cool idea if you could use a passive targeter whilst cloaked. This could allow you to use modules such as ship and cargo scanners whilst cloaked allowing you to gather some decent intel on hostiles behind lines or during camps.
This would also increase the usability and popularity of some of the more underused modules.
To stop this being misused you could simply drop all targets during decloaking.
Had 30 odd positive responses.. ..support it here..

Covert Ops, Passive Targeting and Cloaking
I posted it months ago in development forums, but it got mixed responses.
I fully support the idea of cloaked covops gathering module intel on hostile gangs.. would be easier to tip an unbalanced fight in your favor - and give a real role to the covops other than "traffic intel" and providing warp points on snipers/SS ships.

I really was hoping you could play the passive targeting / ship and cargo scanning game whilst cloaked.
Oh well... off to sign the support thread. -...
