** When the Tie Phantom proved to be too much of a GameBreaker, the decloaking mechanic was changed to happen at the beginning of the turn instead of just before the Phantom moved. This particular fix has proven to be wildly popular, in part because it actually makes the ship seem more like it's actually closed as opposed to it's previous LastPlaceYouLook approach.
