Hey all, quick question for you.
In Pact Worlds we got a much requested piece of starship technology, a cloaking device. The text reads as follows:
"Cloaking technology is named for the maximum quality of
sensors that can’t detect the cloaked ship. Cut-rate cloaking
technology fools only cut-rate sensors; budget cloaking technology
fools only cut-rate and budget sensors, and so on. Sensors
capable of detecting a cloaked starship can do so only when the
cloaked starship has entered the sensor’s first range increment.
Engaging a Drift engine or thrusters or beginning starship combat
(Core Rulebook 316) immediately negates the cloaking ability,
whereupon the ship reappears and can be detected normally."
So my question is regarding the last sentence, specifically that engaging thrusters immediately negates the cloaking. Am I interpreting that correctly? Any type of movement instantly makes you visible again? Or is there something in the core rulebook I missed that describes engaging thrusters as a very specific action which is distinct from general movement?
