PET losing cloak

I cloak to box and around battle stations the PET loses cloak and dies. No mines around, no other players. Is there something in battle stations that uncloaks just the PET? Never happens to my ship. Is this an issue or bug?

 

It's a bug you have to relog your pet sometimes it happens to me.

 

I noticed the same, last time yesterday when I turned it on it flew straight into the battle station and vaporized, a real kamikaze I often see other players' pets couple of secs when they are in cloak, and immediately back to the cloak, that is some bug, DO should do something about it.

 

an enemies pet showing for a second or 2 when his/her ship is cloaked is a useful feature for canon fodder like me. it lets me know that there's a cloaker near me

Your PET is only cloaked as long as you're cloaked, and within a specific range (typically within your game's window). Once the PET gets far enough, your PET will uncloak. But the cloak will be returned once your PET gets back to you.

 

OK but this happens when the ship and PET are both at a battle station which is close. Game has too many problems. I guess thats why they have a Unity test server coming up like talked about in Dark Orbit Discord

 

not anymore, they changed so that pets uncloak when picking boxes, same way as pets interacting with mines, back then they could not but they can now.
