Any ship (with a cloaking device of course) can remain cloaked until the Iridium runs dry. With enough Iridium, a ship can remain cloaked for days. Most cloaked NPC ships remain that way regardless of the deleterious effect upon their crew.

The do eventually uncloak. Played hide and seek with an NPC carrier for about 1/2 an hour till i finally got a fix on his location long enough to pummel him with my main guns.

My point was that the only absolute cause of a ship decloaking is lack of Iridium, player or NPC. Depending upon the agenda/needs of the cloaked individuals, they may stay cloaked longer than is safe. My opinion is that NPCs generally remain cloaked longer than I would under the same circumstances and that I attribute that to my caring more for the welfare of my crew wink.gif. As with all things related to the AI of BCM, YMMV. After all it has a mind of its own!

Pah, stay cloaked as long as you need to - so what if the crew grow some extra arms? They'll just be able to work harder.

If I wanted to use Yellow on Blue as the primary text on the forum, I'd use a new style sheet.

Please STOP using Yellow and stick with the standard text color - unless you are accenting something. It hurts my eyes when abused.
