Has Infiltration changed?

[BadAsh]

On Markov it's now impossible to be a cloaker and crouch walk past deployables. They track you 100% now when within the SOI of an enemy held base. The ones deployed out in the field work as normal, get near a base or tower and its another story.

Is this the Devs testing something? Or is it a module/link benefit I don't know of yet? Or is Markov (I have not tested other servers) having a problem with this?

I thought I noticed something funny, so I took the time to crouch walk all the way from a warp gate to an enemy base... and as soon at I was in range motion sensors would sound off and or lone spitfire turrets would open up... and going from crouch walk to completely crouched and still won't stop the tracking/alerting.

Finally, I thought the wraith was not supposed to show on the mini-map with link benefits? It does and apparently without the link benefits too. In a continent held by my empire and one other the third empire had a stray Router driving around with 0 bases hacked or owned. I tried to follow him at a save distance in my cloaked wraith when I realized he could see me "behind" him. He was taking evasive maneuvers and crossed water to avoid me. I know the wraith makes some noise while moving, but to hear me on a loud ass Router from half a click back seems a bit much... I think I was showing on his mini-map.

Also of note, lone reavers are enjoying the ability to see crouch walking cloakers in a forest. They fly near by passing through, double back, and let the rockets fly through the foliage... lovely.
