Title says it all.
Earlier I knew a HIC was parked on a wh cloaked up, so I had the wonderful idea of firing a bomb out of my nemisis at the hole to decloak him. Much to my astonishment it didn't work. I figured he must have moved off when no one was looking or was simply out of range. But just to be sure, I fired a bomb at my alt while he was cloaked up. Though he took damage, he was not uncloaked by it. That's just messed up. Any time a ship takes damage, it should be decloaked. Seems quite reasonable to me and anything else is just inconsistent. The Troll is trolling. |

A corp mate of mine mentioned it used to work and was changed at some point. Can anyone confirm this and give an explanation as to why if true? The Troll is trolling. |

So why exactly do some of you think your ship should remain cloaked until it explodes from damage? It doesn't strike you as the least bit odd that your ship can remain cloaked until suddenly your wreck and pod materialize out of nothing?
From a balance perspective, do keep in mind I'm not talking about AFK cloaking or probing cloakers, I'm talking about decloaking a guy you already know is there and is active. Yes I could spam bombs at him till he explodes but see the above, it's just bizarre to have the ship remain cloaked until it turns into a wreck. It defies all expectations of how you would expect the game to work. The Troll is trolling. |

I'm only talking about bombs, not ECM burst. Also, bombs have a 10 second timer before they detonate, shame on the cov ops frig/hauler that can't mwd out of the bubble before that thing detonates. And spamming bombs before the potential target even enters is a somewhat expensive proposition, never mind impractical due to cycle times. To pull that off you'd be better off simply trying to alpha them with bombs, nevermind decloaking them. The Troll is trolling. |
