    Having recently been accused of ghosting (nothing more annoying than being accused of something you know you didn't do) my wife and I sought out as to what the other player saw. What we discovered was a bug.

    In a FFA game when it was down to 2 people, my wife being one. The other player loaded his Commander into a transport and flew out into an open area of the map but was still in sight of her T2 radar. His transport and commander were just a blimp on her screen. Meanwhile, my wife flew her hummingbirds into his main base to find his commander and the little blimp on the radar, well behind his base, changed icons to his commander. She also got the notification that the commander has been spotted even though she had no units near the transport. You can see this in the replay when looking under her perspective. We have also recreated this behavior in a 1v1 among ourselves. Having heard the notification, she naturally flew over to kill him. From her perspective (as in looking at her screen) everything looked normal. She and i watched the replay to see why the opponent thought she cheated and were puzzled ourselves when the icon (could not hear notification in replay) suddenly changed to his commander when her units were in his base. So we tried to recreate it and recreate it we did.

    Recreate:
    Player 1 create a T2 radar.
    Player 2 load commander in transport and fly around within the radar range away from any unit’s line of sight.

    What you will see is a non-descriptive blimp. As a matter of fact if you do fly near a fabricator or MEX you JUST see a transport and not that it is carrying a commander. I am unsure if this is expected behavior?

    NOW player 1 send hummingbirds all-around player 2’s base where his commander was BEFORE he was loaded in the transport. As soon as the hummingbirds cross that spot the transport non-descriptive blimp on the radar will turn into a commander icon and the alert will sound.

    From what I see from description this is bug PA#4173
    Should be fixed within next update.

    For some reason transport cargo position was desync from cargo for enemies.
