Description
I only have one ship with a cloaking device at the moment to test with but each turn I cloak it and on the next turn the ship has decloaked. The ship is in a system occupied by an empire I have an "allow colonies in each others systems" type treaty with. I'm not sure if this is a bug or whether there is some kind of automatic decloaking in friendly systems to conserve supplies or something going on .
Updates
Are you sure you don't have a treaty element not allowing cloaking? Check that first.
I didn't think of that but I've just checked and can confirm I have no treaty that disallows cloaking.

Ok I've just build a 2nd ship, in an enemy-occupied system. Also, my original ship has finally reached a system that contains an alien ship that I have no treaty with. Both ships remained cloaked on the next turn, so I get the impression there's some feature which disables the cloak automatically when in a friendly system. It's probably fine to close this.

I'm re-opening this as I'm still getting this problem and it's now causing my cloaked ships to come under attack from enemy ships that do not have any advanced sensors. The decloaking is not happening at the end of every turn, only some turns, and I've not been able to notice a pattern as to when it happens and when it doesn't. Supplies on the relevant ships are extremely high and I have no treaties with anyone that disallow cloaking.
My ships are decloaked after each time I save game, quit, and reload.
I think this is what the problem is, when I save, quit and reload I get the same behavior.
