I disagree to agree.
Measured right now, I'm fighter cloak approaching BC. I was heard even at 3.6k distance.
some time ago I was even beeped from 3.9k distance.

You aren't counting bugs into the equation. Truth can be found only in testing.

The sound is there to semi-satisfy the people that want them gone while still making them available to stop the fallout from removing them.. Just breathe in, accept it, and move on. They're useless now, find new ways to interact (or not interact)

Likely tenuously-tied to the topic, but I preferred the earlier hum compared to the beeping. It's probably just me, but it always makes me think of Teamspeak giving you an audio notification that you're not outputting audio, so my first response is to tab out of Freelancer to see if something's up, and then realizing like, a minute later that it's the game making the surprisingly non-diagetic noise.

Well I am glad people have been putting in their content to this subject and a few people have mentioned already .......WHY change it or JUST leave it.
Well again maybe a different sound could be used ...OR
Could there be a sound added like a constant drone or some constant noise instead of a bleep and it starts low and increases intensity as the cloaked ship gets nearer so by this time the vessel who hears it either turns tail and runs or disrupts it ..
MAYBE disrupting is not a good idea seeing as a battleship could show itself and you say ...OH....OH
Anyway I am sure this discussion could be carried on and we may spark some interest from the proprietors of the forum to come forward with some views
Which would be well received i think and it will clarify whether they think its a good idea or they will just leave it the same and ....well nothing more to say to that as long as some sort of further discussion can be done
Thanks for everyones replies ....Keep it up

It definitely ruined using cloaks to hunt. Buttcloaking isnt the end of the world as long as the rules are kept to. You either RP a bit before an attack or not, cloaked or not. I would instead suggest we add it as an earnable feature of using a Jint, Minified or regular spyglass scanner, so to get that beep you have to have purchased a moneysink scanner. That would be nice.
The other thing is that with a beep giving your presence away, maybe we could end the ban on cloaked espionage. It used to be fun to try and listen in on someone cloaked or get in close and get scans of a ship, which could be used for bounties or whatever RP purpose, but it can't be used because it would offend those players? Come on! Its yet another situation where tying players down kills a lot of opportunities.
I have to agree here with Binski
RE: Bleeps on cloaking devices - Redcroft - 01-04-2020
Change it so that only the ones with cloak disruptors hear the beep!
Like this its just a cheat.
