Hello guys (and girls ^^)
I wonder if it is a bug, or something I dont know about the game.
I flight with a Federation fighter, which has the ability to turn invisible.
But sometimes, some people continue to hit me although I really was invisible.
How is that possible ?
A mod or special ability I dont know ?
A bug ?
Something illegal ? … 
Ideas ?
Thanks !
your ship turns invisible → it still has it’s physical body and is hitable with all weapons…
if i fight you and you swith to cloak and don’t alter your previous course i can just continue to fire…so when you activate cloak be sure to alter your course aswell otherwise you’re a easy kill
the rapid fire plasma tends to be a discloaking weapon since it features the highest rate of fire and one hell of bullet spreading
That is ok.
But what I have seen, it’s someone who followed me. I try to escape, he didn’t just try to hit me, but followed me like he exactly knew where I was.
I use a Silent Fox, he just can’t imo, or I haven’t understand something.
A) The attacker is a captain = Captain can see everything
B) You got Spydrones on your ship = They disable the cloak and you will always be seen on the map
C) Some bad luck to fly into enermy fire

A / It was not the captain.
B / I have the feeling, but not sure, that when you have a spydrone ono you, you simply cant turn invisible.(you click but nothing happens) But i’m not sure. I just know that sometime, I click on my module to turn invisible, and nothing happens. And I see the spydrone icon with all my buffs.
C / It cant be possible, he followed me everywhere I went when I was under invisibility.
So perhaps it was a bug.
Or is it possible a cheat ?
Same experience here…
Alot of times I get a freshly spawned fighter miles away from any interceptor… Cloak to sneak into the battle only to be sniped by lazer fire…
After playing for quite some time, Im convinced that some players use some sort of a hack…
Watching some from team cam, it also appears as if sometimes people have some sort of a aim botting setup… Snap aiming with no mouse movement at all… Its clear with interceptors…
Every game that has any significant playerbase becomes open for hacks… Thats just common knowledge… I wonder what devs have in plan to counter it?
heavy weapons such as the heavy laser, the heavy railgun and the heavy plasma gun have slow barrels: the turrets are not turning as fast as the other weapons
to compensate for longer distances they are equipped by default (no hacks) with a slight aimbot…
once more: if you can guess where the enemy will be flying after he’s cloaked, you will probably die / be uncloaked
if what you can see is computer side say the game change that shipe sprite to be transparent, then is posible to change the invisible sprite for a glowing red dot, if is server side then they would need to hack the server wich is a bit harder.
Once again… We are not idiots and know the guess fire will decloak you… But we are telling that this is not a random shooting…
Its precise snipe from at least 6km away… Usually when I dodge between the rocks or sneak from the top/bottom
No one without a hack would “guess” like that and be so precise…
And I am telling about a guy who chase me during like 10 seconds when i am flying my Federation fighter.
It happens me two times.
First time I though why not.
Second time I think I want to understand why now I cant use this ship because now I am not confident enough.

Your engines shine if you dont stop them after going invisible, you can still strafe without uncovering yourself though
The entire ship, also the engines become invis. Since the original Models, effects and textures are saved on your computer its easy to crack them open and change them. There is also the way to start the game without the launcher.exe. The launcher will always check the files for corruption and redownload all broken ones. So if anyone will encounter a player that obviusly can see where you are and is not a captain then report them for hack.
The devs also worked on a way to block most likely any macros to prevent abuse. If it is true that the files are hacked then they should figure out a way to stop it.
I cant figure out how people can make a pvp game so easily hackable.
Then it means we can’t play this game seriously …
Well, ok, this game still in beta. Then I hope it will be soon fixed.
The best way to kill a game is to put the players out of playing it.
This game is still beta.
It’s not a big problem to harden a game against file modifications, but it takes some time to sign all files for every new build.
Of course this could be automated, but you have to build those autmations first.
I would bet it’s something which will be implemented before final release, but I can unterstand the devs are busy with more urgent stuff.
I was in a game, and a enemy turned invisible.
I could see the red square around his ship.
It was in a captain game.
He wasn’t captain.
After the death of the enemy captain all ships become visible to you. This also counts for Stealth. You cant lock them but you can see the Target indicator.
Well, invisible should mean invisible, no matter if captain, end of round or whatever. It´s not like you can stay invis forever after all.
I agree with that. I dont like the current way with the Stealth. It means invis and should do it. No matter if im Captain or my Captain is dead. The only thing to counter Stealth should be the spydrone.
If you are fired upon by an Empire Frigate with the Dis-integrator, you have a “DOT” (Damage over time) put on you in some instances, that will take you out of stealth, or make you visible to it momentarily. I keep on getting the medal for bringing people out of stealth alot with my frigate.
Federation interceptor can dot too.
