True, it's not entirely a cloak... but it's a similar concept, and even so... it doesn't matter how you call it as long as it does what it does.
And referring to the topic itself, i believe we are many here who agree on it... but would it be possible for someone in the developer team to step in and AT LEAST say "we are/are not thinking about it" or "it is/is not possible"?

They'd probably say: "Yes it'd be possible to do, but there's no reason to add another cloak, and if we'd consider it - it won't be added before .88, which'll take a few years to release."
However, since all those features are already available, it shouldn't be that lot of effort to make it.

A jammer JAMS another's radar and scanning devices, to where it can't scan or detect ANYTHING.
What this does, is simply masks your own emissions and such from other ships. It's the same thing essentially that the Normandy from Mass Effect has equipped. I recommend reading the following little snipet. http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/SSV_Normandy#Technology
Once you read that, this idea will make much more sense to you.

Haven't read all the comments, but I think it should have a "deactivation" time, so people will think it twice when to use it and won't spam it, unless they want to dodge shieldless (if this stuff turns your shields down)
RE: New cloak idea - Narcotic - 03-17-2013
Bumping this. Maybe we can have it in .88?

Now this is funny, my friends and I on TS were actually JUST discussing this. Though our idea is a bit different. Instead of having it on snubs, make it a Cap only thing. Yes, I know some will scream "Why do Caps get everything!!!" Snubs can still cloak perfectly fine, but Capitals get more of a Stealth quality to them. Instead of going completly invisible, they disappear from radar. The no shields/powercore could be a bit of a problem though, as then it would render the cap useless, so have atleast the guns working, but it takes fuel to run, and increase the fuel consumption rate so they can't keep it active for 20+ minutes. Yes, it would mean torps wouldn't be able to track since you couldn't target them, but with such a large target SNACs would work fine, while putting the bomber in range for a cap to defend itself. It would also make it where people don't rely so heavily on their radar, and more on their eyes, keeping tabs on their surroundings better. Transports are a bit more iffy on the stealth part though, Inrp this would seem more like a piece of Military tech and I would imagine House Governments would not want Stealth ships flying through their space. OORP it would just make piracy impossible, they turn this Stealth Unit on, CD can't track, free get-out-of-piracy card. Anyway, those are my thoughts, sorry to hi-jack your thread to post this, but making my own would just be redundent and pointless. Suggestions and improvements on this idea welcome.

Why did you vote no? And what is PTMC?

Hmm, it is an interesting idea. It would be great for smugglers for sure, I would get one. It sounds more like a scanner jammer than a cloak.... is this possible with the game's engine though?

Does 10% give you a hint?
