Cloaked ships show up on the mini-map now- bug or "feature?"

Like the title says. Since the patch today, Feds can now see cloaked Klingon ships on the mini-map. Before anyone accuses me of whining, let me say I play both sides. It still doesn't make actually detecting cloaked ships any easier, it just lets the Feds know where cloaked Klingons are on the mini-map. I'm just curious if this was intentional or not. I'm guessing not since they also changed mini-maps today and this could've easily slipped in.

    Bug clearly. There is already a thread in the bug section and a dev has noted it.

    Let's see how long it takes to fix...........I would like to trust the devs on this but after the ridiculous amount of fed QQ on this the timing is curious.

    I think its great, finally a valid way for cloaking to be implemented. You can't shoot them till you uncloak them, but you can acctually go out and hunt for them. This is how it should have been all along although not through a bug of course.

    I will never gripe about cloak again while this "bug" is active.

    I won't pvp again until it is fixed...........Ok I might do the daily.

    I bet the Feds still lose though.

    ^ this, but then again i never griped about it in the first place. I think it adds a fairly new dimension to fvk pvp, still a bug though.

    I would love to see where a dev says this is a bug to clarify instead of ioinions.
    This is a nice and very interesting feature to try out, similar to tracking wargs in LOTRO pvp. Had osme good EXP with it and was extremely sucessfull VS klinks tonight lost 1 out of 4.

    thats the same defense as "carrier spawning is working as intended". it's an undocumented change, chances are its a bug, otherwise they would have said something.

    Its a bug, so get over that lousy anti-fed propaganda, which is pretty silly lately. I hope its fixed soon, so the "brave" warriors of the empire can get out from their hiding places under their beds.
