Cloak bug

[Jack_Henderson]

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.
