What happens if you log off cloaked?

Hey all,

I've been researching this a bit, but still not convinced with what I found so here goes the question:

What happens with your ship when you log off in space, while being cloaked? I know it warps off a certain distance, but I'm more specifically asking in regards of keeping it secret, keeping it safe ;) (hehe, couldn't help it there).

If the ship is cloaked, will it stay cloaked? What if the cloak isn't a cov ops cloak, since your ships warps off (and you can't warp while under a normal cloak).

Any insight in this? Or anything related?

When you logout, any active module will switch off before the ship warps to 1 000 000 kilometers in a random direction.

It will remain there for the next standard 1 minute. There are three exceptions for that :

  • Being flagged "PVP" => you will do the same, but stay logged in for the next 15 minutes
  • Being fighting with NPCs => you will do the same, but stay logged in for the next 2 minutes
  • Being in a pos forefield => you won't warp out at all

As you can see, you don't really care about flying a covert ops or anything else, because all modules will turn off before the auto-warp sequence.

Don’t the PvP log off timers reset if you change system?

You wouldn’t change system if you logged off…

Also, the above answer is correct as far as I know.

I duno about that, we were assuming you logged out during “action” so I kept it simple :D

as far as i know… yes the PvP countdown resets when you change system… but it doesn’t matter how long is left on the PvP countdown when you log out… you’ll still remain in space for 15 minutes…

I’ve noticed an additional thing, since incursion if you log inside a forcefield you don’t seem to E-Warp, just sit there till you despawn!!! Has anyone else experienced this? Also I am unsure if this changes with agression flags, because I noticed this on my indy character.

ok i’d really really wanna know if that is true Matt… maybe make a question about it?

So, hiding a ship somewhere in space means logging off without timers, and hope noone scans it within those 60 seconds…
