Having an issue with cloaked ships being detected by blockades even though the ships in the blockade don't have cloak detection. Playing as Umbral Choir. My ships are level 3 cloak. Screen shots are posted below. Has happened to me multiple times. Is this a bug or working as intended?

Thanks for pointing this out. I've let the team know. Were there any specific circumstances in which this happened, or does it alwazs happen when you pass a blockading fleet?

I'm not sure. It may not actually be a bug now that I look at this image again. Does the "lightning" icon next to the system name mean there is a cloak detection probe active in the system? If so, then I just didn't see that before.

No. The Lightning icon means there's a fight taking place at that location (specifically a space battle). 


The detection probe symbol is the same as the cloaking detection on ships. 


Out of curiosity, I see you're on a special node. Does it have theater effects that allow you to see cloaked ships there?

Not sure. Unfortunately, I didn't save the game for testing. I do remember this issue happened on different systems though, including solar systems that deffinetly did not have the detection icon.

6 years later, this is still happening and has just ruined my UC playthrough where I have successfully stayed hidden from everyone. I don't understand why the game is still full of bugs (and desyncs/ships getting stuck every turn) Amplitude just doesn't care to fix despite still releasing patches.
