Strange bug reported by Stardust: apparently a Ferengi Marauder is tractoring a cloaked (derelict) unit... that eventually disapears entirely  . See attached images

EDIT: could be that the Leahval tried to cloak, lost subsystems, lost crew, and was caught in tractor beam.

First the Leahval is visible but cloaked in the tractor beam (even though no crew). Then  as the Marauder moves the Leahval becomes invisible

yup, I've seen cloaked units getting towed away as well

thanks for the analysis. had seen that on two occasions, however that was in a multiplayer testgame with AIs, so i couldn't activate the map editor to see what the ferengi actually was towing there i'll put up a todo for cloaked derelicts. thanks

I'll be sure to tell Stardust

I thought that was supposed to happen.  If a ship's life support is failing and crew reaches zero while cloaked, the ship will stay cloaked and just drift away.  There are other cloaked anomalies as well that I'll have to start compiling.

ah i had this happen to me several times,

to recreate the bug, you need to lose crew and cloak at the same time.. ^^;


another note - crew has to hit 1/0  it's weird and hard to recreate... ^^;




the 2nd way to recreate the bug is for weapon system and cloak to be destroyed/activated at the same time...



and i believe this bug goes back to a2  happened alot with romulan ships cuz subsystems were so easy to destroy/disable in a2...
