Cloak/jam does the same to astronauts

    I think
    Jam should jam astronaut signatures of astronauts aligned to jammed ship
    Cloak should cloak astronauts to cloaked ship.

    Someone who's aligned to a cloaked/jammed experiences as if no jam/cloak was active on the aligned ship.

    Yeah, as somebody who uses cloak regularly I'm definitely not happy with the way current cloaking works.
    Cloaking should only have a visible affect for non aligned players.
    Anybody aligned should see no change and the ship and docked entities should all be visible to all who are aligned.
    [doublepost=1505994438,1505994383][/doublepost]Oh, but only if they were aligned before cloak. Otherwise they see nothing.

    I think all aligned astronauts should get an automatic jam effect, regardless of whether the host ship has a jamming block.

    In effect, the ship would protect the crew from being targeted directly or by heatseekers. You'd have to perform a boarding action or some other astronaut-level function to attack individuals. Or manually point your gun at the astronaut. Future game functions like hacking a target's sensors or teleport system could be implemented to override the aligned astronaut's jam effect, but those functions are not yet in the game.
