Cloak Changes Trial Phase Conclusion

[aerelm]

As previously announced, system and local chat for cloaked ships were disabled as a trial run to assess its impact on server gameplay. After extensive discussion among the staff, it was decided to re-enable said chats for cloaked ships as the change have not had the desired impact on the server gameplay.

So, as of the time of this notice both local and system chats are re-enabled for cloaked ships. Have fun.

Just out of curiosity... what impact did you hope it would have?

Myself, I never saw anyone talk while cloaked, although I've seen lots of people spamming system chat while hiding (which is perfectly fine imo, as would have been to talk while cloaked), and I've seen a lot of other uses of cloak which I found more abusive (like surprise attacks, stalking, dropping bots for someone in a fight while cloaked, and cloaking while jumping which makes it absolutely impossible to catch someone).

That's kinda what cloaks were designed for...
