Summary0012051: Strategic reserve deploying against cloaked ships
DescriptionIs it intended that AI deploys strategic reserve when a cloaked assault transport containing a starship or an high number of fleet ships enters in a core world?

If they are inside a clocked transport AI should not know about them, I think.

Even more, reserve cannot attack these ships because they are inside the transport and the transport itself remains cloaked.

In attached savegame there is a transport in Kinjimar transporting a starship. Move it to Bulbi and in less than 15 sec strategic reserve will be deployed.

IIRC cloaking is only supposed to hide the location of ships in a system. But you still know how many and what kind of ships there are. This goes for both you and the AI. So it would make sense that the AI would be put on alert if military ships are present in a system even though they are cloaked.

Try using the non-military transports group-moved with your cloaker starships. That might not set off the strategic reserve because neither of those ships are classified as military ships.

So AI knows that I have an assault transport there, that's ok.
but do they know what I'm transporting inside it, also?

I don't think the AI knows what's inside the transport.

an empty transport does not trigger the strategic reserve, while a transport with even a single ship triggers it, so I suppose there's a check about the transported unit, also.
