Free T6 Bird of Prey has serious bugs

First time I've flown a BoP, so not sure if these are generic BoP issues but I've encountered two serious bugs:

(1) Random - Ship goes into combat alert state for no reason when not in combat in TFOs. This sometimes lasts for the entire match which means you can never go to full impulse to get quickly from one part of the map to the other.

(2) Random - Sometimes when engaging the enhanced battle cloak and entering stealth you cannot leave stealth for the rest of the match, which means you can only fire torps. So basically do nothing.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

    So far I have not had that happen to me. But you are not the first I have seen mention being stuck in red alert.

    I've one time had (2) happen, which was you enter cloak then can't leave stealth. Yet I've flown that ship a fair bit and think it only happened one time.

    However now my Recruit has started flying other ships, to start earning mastery in a few Starship Traits; but can confirm I've since the later one.

    It's pretty annoying, maybe there is some odd interaction with my ship's gear and the ship.

    On the B'rel Bird of Prey and other Ships with Battle Cloak I had it several times now that I either couldn't get out of cloak or it took a while before I could. There are some serious issues right now in the game as usual when they do a content upgrade. I'm fairly sure there is about zero quality testing about the stuff they release and they always think they can fix it on the fly, next patch and when the patch comes they break something else. I think they can start calling the game Bug Trek Online.
    C-Store Inc. is still looking for active members on the fed side. If you don't have a fleet feel free to contact me in game @stegi.

    The Stuck in Combat seems to be related to slotting the Recruit's Starship Trait. Allegedly this was fixed in a recent patch, but I haven't used it yet to check myself.

    What I've noticed for the 2nd one is that sometimes firing a torp while Cloaked will make it look like I've decloaked, but the buff bar and the tray both show I still am.

    There's a short lockout where I can't decloak too soon after the cloak goes on. I just have to wait a moment and I can decloak. The only people I know who are having issues with that are people who are also keybinding several skills to the same bar, and I wonder if that's related. Personally never liked that method, and haven't had that issue.

    If this is a bug report, I or any of the other mods could move this to the appropriate section of the forums so that the Bug Team is more likely to see it.

    i think it was more of an information post, although it was incomplete information...
    As has already been pointed out, the always red alert thing has supposedly been solved.
    Unfortunately the stuck in cloak thing is not limited to the new BoP. I've had it happen on every ship i've used that has a battle cloak. Only way out seems to be interacting with things(i.e. loot drops) and when the talking windows pop up...
    I haven't tried unslotting the new trait yet and seeing if it still happens though...

    This is clearly Console related, and has been reported repeatedly.

    The Red alerts can trigger from auto-execute abilities as well as enemy critters that aren't obvious and isn't a bug persay.
    The Cloaking issue has been there for years and still has no fix.

    I find that healing one of my hangar pets always triggers a Red Alert, for example, so there are plenty of ways out there it seems.

    Just a very minor point, but Enhanced Battle Cloak also allows you to drop mines, in addition to firing torpedoes.

    I had a fun glitch while doing KSA. I cloaked and could not uncloak. When I hit the cloak button it would go into a short cool down (5 seconds I think) and I would stay cloaked. Finally, someone else destroyed an enemy and I was able to try and claim the drop and that brought me out of cloak. Good time.

    Yeah I noticed that pickup drops drops your cloak, so maybe that is a workaround until it gets fixed. The issues hit me a lot on the same day, but hasn't happened today at all (so far).

    Using one bug against another. How very zen :)

    I think this was actually the bug with the Hunter's Instinct trait that got fixed in he patch on Feb 4th.

    Well in the Qib Battlecruiser I'm also not able to get out of Battle Cloak, just like in the Recruit Bird of Prey sometimes.

    While you show cloaked, yet it's like it things your not, so pressing the cloak button won't decloak you... The worse part is you can't engage in battle when that occurs. Been trying to fight the enemy but can't...

    Wish this get fixed.
