I don't know, but my client doesn't do it on any of the other hockey servers.

Obviously, my client thinks the server is sending warp 15 as cloaked. That's
why it's displaying the puck as cloaked when the puck is at warp 15. I
don't know whether the server is actually sending warp 15 as cloaked, but
there's some sort of problem on the server end, or my client would have
the same problem on every hockey server.
