I had a kluth Station at 10% hull last night, spewing flames and plama all-over. He cloaked. I saw nothing.
There were not blue plasma trails, no flames, no particle leak.
First time i've run into this, I didnt see this on the development logs. So i'm wondering if it's intended or not.

I figured it was intentional. It was kinda lame to be able to see them before, and probably a graphical glitch that forgot to include the flames and smoke in the cloaking effect.

Right... I think it is completely fair... especially the way they've redone the combat system ( less armor - more hull ) but with luth you get to 60% or so and your completely visable it was unfair

Probably due to the way the new client handles visible/non-visible entities.
Honestly, if it is like this now, then I'm all for it - I never liked being able to see flames when cloaked. Regardless of realism.

So it's unintended then.
Would u guys check to see if eveyone is affected by this the same way?
well, regardless of our personal feeling whether this is "fair" or not. If would be bad if some people can see em, while others can't.

Some people can see them because of desync issues, which I've been getting quite a lot the past two days. You fly around thinking you're cloaked but your not, and all of a sudden out of nowhere you're getting jumped and attacked. And when you uncloak to fire, your weapons do no damage and teammates tell you it's because you're cloaked.
