Well, I finally found someone nice enough to help me test it (despite it being 2 AM here and my friends were all logged off).

Here's what I came up with:

In order to enter Cover Up, you must be 20m or further from any NPC or PC, and out of their line of sight.

Cover Up is broken for outdoor terrain. Using rocks and trees doesn't seem to help at all (problem with Line of Sight?). Using hills or dips doesn't either, and it really should. I did manage to enter cover without being on perfectly flat terrain at least once so far.

If you go to a city and use structures (both inside structures and outside), it is very easy to take cover. Simply stay 20 m from any entity (triangle on your radar), and out of any entities line of sight. As soon as you enter cover, you will not be spotted until you are within 20 m from a player or NPC (or start shooting at something). NPC droids seem to like to walk by you and break your cover, so watch out.

Rolls for breakingcoverfor players seem to be more random than NPCs, but I believe this is due to lag.

I had tried using a camp on Dantooine, but it didn't seem to help. I must have been within an NPC's line of sight, despite being more than 64 meters away. I'll probably do more testing tomorrow, but I'm really tired.

Hi. I just respec'd to rifleman 3400, and I'm wondering how to get cover up to work. I used it on some NPC's on Naboo, but I came to Dantooine and I can't seem to get it to work for the life of me.

On Naboo I just did it in a field of grass and picked off NPC's. Itworked just fine. Then I went to Dantooine.

I read something on these riflemen forums about physically having to use cover to conceal, but it doesn't seem to be working even when I do that.

Sometimes I get that message saying something can see me so I can't conceal, but I moved futher away and behind a rock, andam not getting that message anymore.

Instead, I get that red highlight and annyoing clicking noise about halfway through charging conceal up.

Any help appreciated.

Basically to sum up cover:

You need to be on a pretty flat surface, sometimes you have to hit cover many times, you have to be more then 20m away from NPCs, and in 3-4 shots your cover will be broken because the target will charge your location.

So how does cover work in pvp? I know NPC will discover you after a few shots. But what about players? How would they "discover" you even if there is no way they would be within 20m of you?
