======= NOTICE FOR HELP =======

**What happened:**  
=\> Parked my ship ‘DenaVici 2nd CV’ (11722477) in ‘Nova Orbit’, About 15k from Nova.  
After my SV & I traveled about 200m away from the CV, I used the command ‘egs:stealth🔛11722477’  
After 90 minutes of mining I returned and tried unstealthing my ship with the command.‘egs:stealth:off:11722477’  
The ship was no where to be found, and I soon learned through HWS Connect Structure Commander that my ship had been deleted.

**Player(s) with issue:**  
=\> DenaVici

**Server:**  
=\> Na

**Time (cb:time):**  
=\> 20-03-06 10:13

**Playfield:**

=\> ‘DenaVici 2nd CV’ (11722477)

**Structure ID(s):**

**How can we help you now:**  
=\> This is the second ship I’ve lost.  
After my last ticket about a stored factory ship that disappeared after Cross Server Warping & returning, I followed your comments on another thread about blueprints from the factory being saved client side.  
‘[Some tickets being answered incorrectly](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/some-tickets-being-answered-incorrectly/22765)’  
Is the loss of my new ship,‘DenaVici 2nd CV’ also due to a possible error or connection issue on my part?

Can you please provide some insight into what may have happened, what I did wrong, or what I can do to help prevent future losses?  
While I have enjoyed playing on this server immensely, it is rather disheartening that I’m experiencing these problems.  
Can you re-instate my Stealthed CV to the non-deleted version?  
Thanks,  
-Vito, DenaVici

If I’m not mistaken, when you stealth a ship it is saved to backup and the original is deleted.  
This means it will have a new id # since the old was deleted.  
Look in the EGS Stealth tab on Connect. Is the ship listed in there?

Your ship is still in stealth mode.

did you get a question like: “You really want to get your ships out of stealth?”

Anything else you saw in chat?  
I don’t see any reason why it did not work. unless there was a typo.

Maybe try EGS:STEALTH:OFF without the id

Hey Jascha,  
Thanks for the reply,  
As this was my first time stealthing my ship, I wanted to ensure the commands were correct and readily available in case I was in a hurry to leave. So I wrote the commands in OneNote on my second screen to copy and paste.

The following are the commands I used and am again copy and pasting so I do not think there was any typo.  
egs:stealth🔛11722477  
egs:stealth:off:11722477  
egs:stealth:off

Yes, everytime I pasted the command egs:stealth:off:11722477 I would receive the question “You really want to get your ships out of stealth?”

I also tried to use the command egs:stealth:off . However I never had any response from that command.

Once I found the structure in Structure Command through HWS connect I went to the exact coordinates listed and tried the egs:stealth:off:11722477 several times while always receiving the question but nothing afterwords.

I had read both pages, [EGS Stealth Technology](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/egs-stealth-technology/7111), & [Elemental Galactic Services Commands](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/elemental-galactic-services-commands/19310)  
So I did know you could manage the stealth through alt+tab and hws connect, but if i’m in a PvP area with valuable gold from Nova, I’d rather use a command I could type, rather then alt+tab and losing visuals.

Plus, After zipping around the planet several times trying to anxiously find my ship while carrying too much gold, I honestly forgot about managing stealth commands through HWS Connect.

If the typed commands did not work for me though, I am hesitant to go to Nova sector today and fly around again trying to get my super stealth-ed ship visible.

Is typing the command to the server that much different than managing the ship through HWS Connect/Stealth?

Hey,

hm yeah it looks very strange. Something seems bugged. Anyone else noticed trouble with typing egs:Stealth?

Did it work over HWS Connect or should I manually spawn the ship?

Sorry for the trouble ☹

Hey,

This morning I was able to unstealth my ship through HWS Connect.  
I wish I would have tried the text command first just to see but didn’t think of it until now.  
I haven’t heard of anyone that has had any type of similar problem.  
I’ll try it in PVE first next time.  
Thanks for the help!

I’ve been stealthing/unstealthing a few ships per day… I know they’ve appeared deleted in Structure Commander but they do show under the egs:stealth tab…

Hey Chaotic,

Thanks for the reply,  
Do you always use HWS Connect to stealth/unstealth?  
If you use the commands, have you ever experienced problems as well?

Thanks

I’ve always used the commands, I’ve never experienced any issue. egs:stealth:on :id as well as egs:stealth:off are the two I mostly use.
