Tip on game start about cloaking

Post by kiowa »

it reads:
Cloaking prevents enemies from firing on your ship or charging their weapons. It also causes ALL currently flying shots to miss your ship.
Which is untrue, cloaking cranks evasion up by 60% but it can still be less than 100%. Also, as per my observations, if you have shields up, and a missile has already made it past your shield bubble, cloaking won't help. I guess the tip text is somehow inaccurate?

During the Beta, cloaking did provide 100% evasion. That was changed before release, and apparently the tip was never updated. I'll get it fixed :)
