Hi!
Preconditions:
At previous turn, large cloaked enemy fleet was at planet 1. Fleet ID# was 97. This fleet was visible for me because battle. Without battle I would not see that fleet by scanners.
I set up my fleet to target cloaked enemy fleet.
This turn it appears that my fleet did not move at all!!!
What happened:
Cloaked enemy fleet moved to planet 2, and I see it there again because another battle. It's fleet # now is 41. Message for my fleet targeting it says "The fleet you were tracking with Fly+ #358, appears to have ducked behind Magellan. Orders for your fleet have been changed to go to that planet.". Cloaked fleet is still out of my scanners range.
Note that I targeted cloaked ships before. A single cloaked ship targeting worked good before, even if I have seen it because battle only.
So I assume that targeting here did not work well because split fleet dodge for cloaked ships that are out of scanners range.
Question: is it a bug, or it is a feature of Stars for cloaked ships (in favor of SS races)? I see now that I can fly by cloacked fleets untargeted unlimitedly by using split fleet dodge, if I out of scanners range. That looks terribly unfair, IMO.
WBR, Vlad
