Why Do Yellow Beams Come Out Of Nowhere And Hit My Ships?
Q: When I go through wormholes into enemy planets, sometimes I find these yellow beams coming out of empty space and hitting my cloaked ships. What is that?
A: Yellow beams are always tachyon beams, which "tag" any cloaked ships that come within their range, making them partially visible (and thus shootable) for around 8 seconds. Usually you can see the source of tachyon beams, but in this case you are running up against a Stealth Tachyon Beam Emitter, which is itself cloaked. If you bring some form of your own tachyon beam emitter near it, you'll be able to partially-decloak it and kill it.
