32c Battle Cloak Bug for months as discussed on Cryptic Stream

Platform: XBox (both xbox one and series x)

Character/Account: All character types Fed and Kdf aligned.

Bug/Issue Description: 32c Battle Cloak on Mars pilot escort T6 ship is broken and you get stuck in cloak. It seems when cloak was fixed months ago 32c cloak was missed. Since then i believe same issue is on all 32c battle cloak ships including Janeway, Saturn etc but only tested on Mars.

Steps to Reproduce: Easy to reproduce. Just enter cloak WHILE IN RED ALERT in Mars and you won't be able to leave cloak without changing map or an enemy ship pulling you out of cloak. Clicking hot keys and hitting button multiple times does not work as suggested by support it just stays greyed out. Many people have reported this to support.

Yep I’ve seen this too on my Eisenberg. Went back to my Into Darkness Dreadnaught because of it.

All battle cloaks are susceptible to this in game. It seems to happen when you activate abilities while cloaking. The official QA response is that Cryptic cannot reproduce the bug on their internal servers. There are ways to break the cloak. One technique is to find a loot box because grabbing loot boxes tend to break cloaks. Another technique is to set your auxiliary to minimum and use an effect requiring six. If aux is depleted the cloak will break. It is very annoying, but has been broken since battle cloaking was introduced and is unlikely to ever be fixed.

Until next time, courage.

No this is incorrect info for current state of game. All the Klingon and romulan and normal fed battle cloaks have been fixed. Cryptic found the issue and patched it and they now work fine with no issues. It’s purely the 32c battle cloak that is broken since its release. There is no easy way out of it and it is VERY easy to reproduce compared to the old issue. You literally activate cloak while in a state of red alert and you wont get out of it. This is EVERY time without fail. Not like the old bug. Just to be clear if support reads this.

^^^ Exactly this.
