Post Burn animation gives away position.
Hmm are fires meant to give you the location of a target every tic? Even though you cant see them on your radar? I dont have a problem with this if its a feature, but if it isnt can we get it fixed?

Been like this since C1 I believe. Would be nice if it could be hidden if you can't see that particular target because it is stealthed, though.

Warp Device effect also reveals position of user. There was a massive drop in Seer usage when they noticed people could see them after they fire a seer relocator.

Huh, not really sure what my opinion on this (it makes sense as a counter to stealth, but not a very fun one I think). It probably wouldn't take much time to make the effects inherit the vis/reflect of the ship that spawns them. I'll ask Jeff if this was intended or not (since these effects were made way before my time, and I'm not really sure).
