Cloak bug

[Barbarossa]

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.

Could this get fixed? Are there plans on fixing it? As it is now, anybody with a minimum of experience can render a cloak useless. And do it.

It's not against the rules.

Hi Cannon:$

Thanks, I didn't think so either. It is just frustrating investing an effort in utilizing a particular strategy to have it completely nullified by someone pressing a button. It is even more unfair considering a lot of players who don't go on the forums don't know about this.

If it can't be fixed, is it possible to change the fuel consumption as it was said in this thread, so cloaks at least serve some purpose (ambush rather than escape)?

Well this is totally ABUSIVE!!!!!... spamming Cruise Disruptors for revelate cloaked ship location... ridiculous.

Long time ago, if old members remember, there was a rule about all kind of use of BUGs for getting adventage in combat is considered cheating...

Now... look this situation and think about if it is or not an ABUSE of a bug:

(Liberty Carrier Atlantis VS Rogue Destroyer)

I know the Carrier... have not much chance to win but... if you manage it good you can. But the situation is, after some time in combat, I noted that Rogue destroyer maneuvre is awesome and more using their thrusters! so... better to avoid combat. After he drained all my shields, was time for engage cloak and attempt to run, but... my surprise when, after TOTALLY CLOAKED, the rogue SPAMMING CRUISE DISRUPTORS for revelate my position... totally disagree with this, because you SHOULD target the ship for Cruise Disrupt it, but his CDs still following me!!, so... i has no shields, i has no thrusters, i cant engage cruises... totally no chance. Its abusive....

Resume: Cruise Disruptors already have adventage due it can stop cloacking (and it shouldnt, but its ok). Why the hell Cruise Disruptors still following a ship you cannot see?

This is a BUG... and the use of any kind of BUG for adventages should be considered Cheating.

If this is intended... DEV team should consider to delete some ships (the big ones) because have no thrusters and no chance for run away and save the life. Specialy the Liberty Atlantis... it is already really really underpowered.

Well I think that it could be fixed as well. Also CD shouldn't disrupt cloak as you've already mentioned. It's at least weird.
And that's why I'm using a sentinel CM instead of cloak to run from a fight. Really, spamming sentinel and no single scylla can stop you (or at least no ship has stopped me yet *laughs* - otherwise if I am attacked by more than one vessel)
Just shift + w and use CM as one of weapon groups - they you will be able to drop CMs, strafe and turn.

It is not possible, due while you are cloaked, you cannot drop CMs, and strafing is useless, the ship its too fat and slow, so he can hit me sooooo easy

If you had full secondary setup, scylla wouldn't defeat you,

Hehehe, the Atlantis have 2 primaries and 4 secondaries, all the rest are light slots (21 slots)
