It is bug and need to be fixed.

' Wrote:what if it was supposed to never be good or better than flying without?Then it never would have been introduced. If that had been, it never would have been intended to be uncommon. If that had been, it never would have been made to require nomad remains. If that had been, it wouldn't have been made to require five barges of materials to make a battleship cloak.
That is simply preposterous.

Usually pirates are more interested of PvP than pirating. And not pirates all combat ships. So why now have an 90% chance to evade and probably return into battle. (rest of 10% means the insta kill thing).
Why to pay 100 mils to be invincible, when you pay 100 mils for a little advantage with code guns, or 800 more mils to get 25% more arrmor, from 3.0 upgrade to 4?

' Wrote:Ok I was in New york when I encountered a member of the SFC| now me being a pirate he pew'd and eventually I had to engage my cloak. When My cloak was fully engaged he continued to Cruise disrupt me using a Glitch where by you scan the ship just before it cloaks and then your Cruise disrupters will automatically track it as will Missiles and all things that have auto tracking systems.
My question is this, Is this against the rules? I think it is because I feel it's the exact same as abusing/exploiting game mechanics or a game bug .. whatever you want to call it. I think it's exactly as bad as using /stuck to get inside a base so an enemy can't shoot you
I do not think it is a bug.
If you targetted a ship before it cloaked, it remains targetted and CDs and any guided weapons still track.
This makes missiles dangerous for cloaked ships and novas for cloaked transports.
It also is the only chance that makes the cloak "not totally 100 % safe" and nothing in a game should be 100 % safe.
You can easily disengage on snubs because you Just have to thrust while changing directions a few times so he loses you from his cd aim. This can be simpler or harder, depending on the CD type. It is easy enough, though. I have never been caught on my cloaky Roc (only 30 seconds) and I have only once managed to destroy a cloaky Ptrans (out of about 20 attempts).
It's only fair to give your opponent a (slim) chance of success.

' Wrote:This is clearly a bug, and since the use of it gives an advantage it is an exploit. The use of an exploit = permaban, therefor file a sanction report ASAP.

Sanctionlancer much?

People here got a cloak and something seems 'off'.
I'll just say one thing when I see you all acting like this,
it's quite the same all over this place with Freelancer Disco.
"spoiled brats" everywhere.

That's hardly fair, and I sincerly hope that wasn't directed at me.

It's an obvious exploitation of a bug. Your opinion on the fact the cloaks were introduced/are being used for X is irrelevant, unless you want to derail the thread.
