+--- Thread: New cloak idea (/showthread.php?tid=93777)
RE: New cloak idea - SkyNet - 07-24-2013
How about that?
- Removal of the fuel consumption of light cloaks. (It should eat slowly the ship energie.)
- A Cloaking device uses a special hard point (Not CM, like the curret does)
- Trains or other transports can use a light cloak if they have a special HP
- Reducing the fuel consumption of cap cloaks.
- Cloaks for Caps using the energie of the reactor after the fuel is burned. (You can also cloak without fuel, but only a short time)
- Set the hold size of a cloak on a low level. (Maybe a reduction of 50% would be enough)
- Cloaks can only be disrupted by a special CD.
- To avoid that all players will use cloaks, they should be limited. (Maybe only the guard factions and house military's may use them. For example, If you want to use a cloak, "as lawfull" in Rheinland, you need to register it at the RFP and pay a lot of cash. The same counts for unlawful factions.

Do you mean in turn that only official player factions may only use cloaks?

No.

Interesting change, that the last 10 votes said "no".
Maybe it sounded nicer half a year ago.

Actually THAT part sounds very interesting! It would make the cloaks balanced, and cloaking would be rather a risk than an advantage somehow. If you don't uncloak before your energy reaches zero, you wont be shooting for a while, like after Cruiser speed, after you stop cruising it takes a while till your energy refills again, I actually like the idea of consuming energy.

Maybe.
I would accept this, if the cloaks will be improved.

Jea... But it will not be implemented. The devs have their own head. How many people have written "cloak threads" already? And how often were these ideas already been implemented? Or did one of the devs said in the past: "Thats a good idea, we will think about to add it" ? I had many ideas to improve the gameplay of disco. But i realised, that they want to do their own thing and ignore the opinion of the players.

No, SkyNet, you will SUBMIT to my opinion.
My technology, my rules.

Quote:Radar jammer to jam what exactly?
If you wanna get nit-picky, I guess a SCANNER JAMMER would be more precise. Its function would be to shorten the effective range (if not eliminate altogether) of Scanners to detect other vessels. Obviously, this could be handled different ways: have different levels of JAmmers that effect certain scanners differently (ex: Basic Jammer shortens detection range of Basic and Cargo Scanners to about 200m, Advanced Cargo and Enhanced Scanners to 500m, Discovery Scanners to 1000m, BS/Spyglass Scanners to 2500m). Advanced Jammer can shorten those detection ranges even more so (some to nil), etc. etc. etc.

Thought you mean't cloaks.
RE: New cloak idea - Misfit - 08-20-2013
why not have 'Jammers' as another piece of equipment in the CM slot?
