That's a clientside "feature", not a server one. If the puck's going
warp 15 because you just cranked it towards the goal, and your client
chooses to interpret this as cloaked, what can the server do about it?
The serverside feature you turned off is the thing that encodes
"cloaked" as warp15, if you're in normal broncotrek and miss packets.
I remember seeing a fix for this come across come across the COW list,
at about the same time as the cool lines were put in. Try that client
out, if you can bring yourself to bear the concept of using COW.
