cans, corpses and wrecks no longer uncloak you...
Nope. All still should decloak you. It has to do with your transition from warp to real space, and whether you're already within 2km of the object. Happens all the time with gates, where you land @ 1500m, but are still cloaked. You can go right up to 0m and stay cloaked, but if you make physical contact with the gate or a new object comes within 2000m you're gone.
Best tactic to avoid camps on your out gates is to scan before you warp in. ALWAYS scan if there's a neutral in local. Don't even take the chance. If there's no celestial object within scan range of the gate in question, simply warp, stop your warp, warp and stop your warp until your cap is empty. you should then be able to warp a fraction of the distance. Repeat until you're within 14AU @ scan at 5 degrees.

On heavily travelled routes, try dropping a bookmark a few hundred kilometers off the gate and warp to it first if you large quantities of unfriendly types in the system.
Large bubbles will almost certainly pull you in from these bookmarks. Scan from off-grid. Always safer. Also. Not "large quantities" but ANY quantity. All it takes is one sneaky bugger in a sabre and you and your cargo are screwed.

First off: Don't fit an MWD to your Covops. It nerfs your cap, so you can't warp as far.
That's just silly. If you fit no MWD, you'll struggle to get out of bubbles/back to the gates before ceptors decloak you. the MWD just about ensures your safety. The prattle about being locked 5x faster is not a factor. Nothing can lock you before you cloak unless you, as the covert pilot, **** up.
@ Laboratus: You're assuming they only have 1 bubble on gate. It's not uncommon to deploy small/med bubbles beyond the large bubble near common tactical spots (above/below) to catch out coverts who think they're smart warping to an in-grid BM. Scan from off-grid, don't even take the chance.

It's my opinion that it's safer (and more productive) to get out of the bubble and continue.
Yes. i agree with you. Which is why you fit an MWD, so you can cover the 5km and be out of the bubble before they get anywhere close to decloaking you, instead of taking nearly a minute, as you would with a single cycle of an AB.
