Default Re: Cloaking and Ship Trainers

I happened to have noticed that if a cloaked ship with stealth armour moves through one of those damaging warp point thingies, the armour may be destroyed but the ship is still cloaked.

The other thing too is that any partners you have can't see your cloaked ship...but I wonder if you had some sort of hypers optics or something would your partners then be able to see you ships if they were in a system with one of your hyper optics satellites (or something similiar)? Can the ship training facility see them as well?

Yeppers.

If fact, if a cloaked ship has sensors onboard, your partner can now see your cloaked ship with it's own sensors. Kind of goofy.

Another little thing about cloaking, if you have no supplies the cloak disappears, ie, cloaked miners (robominers) use 100 supplies/turn, when the supplies are gone the ship appears with 'no gas', makes for an inviting target
