Developer Notice: Cloak Changes Trial Phase

[White]

And if you fly anything smaller than GB, you will catch that fatty with his cloak that needs 30/60s to charge up. Even if he cruises as snub cruise faster than fatties.

As for cloaking out of scan range, well you never knew he was there, and only "fatties" will cloak out of scan range as they have spare fuel, snubs for example? Not a chance, every drop of that fuel is very precious to snub cloaker.

The first part of this quote is irrelevant enough to tell me you didn't get my point, the second part however has a little hint that you maybe did, so let's make this clear.

A "fatty", a transport with fuel enough for like 15-20 minutes begins to charge it's cloak somewhere 30k away from you. You don't know about it, but it knows about you. 60 seconds passes, and it cloaks, then flies up to you to troll you in local.

Whatever you fly, you won't ever catch him before or during charging up cloaking, no matter how fast you cruise, no matter how long it takes for them to charge up the cloak, no matter how well equipped you are with CDs. You won't be able to do anything at all against him teasing you in local chat if he is able to do so. That's why it was disabled.

Question, how you know that somebody is like 30k away from you is actualy your "target"?(unless you have seen him before and you know his name/ship/etc.) And I was talking about action at around 10k distance or lesser, above 10k distance you won't likely know who is there unless he flies something really huge.

And in no way I am against blocking usage of local chat durring cloak, but system chat blockade is kinda too much.
