Cloaking Devices
Cloaking Devices are advanced Equipment allowing your ship to be undetectable both visually and by scanners. You don't vanish, meaning you can still crash into objects. An active cloaking device deactivates the shields of the ship using it. Cloaking Devices also consume Cloaking Batteries while in use(even while charging). Any ship with a CM Slot is capable of replacing that one with a Cloaking Device. Cloaking Devices are illegal or require registration in some houses, check the respective laws. A Cloak can be disrupted by shooting the ship with a CD during charge or with a Cloak Disruptor within range.
Notes: Cloaking Devices must be built on PoBs or in the case of Nomad ones, bought on their respective installations.
All cloaks have a cooldown time of 120 seconds. This cooldown only applies when you are hit with a cloak disruptor.
People who are cloaked can be detected by listening for a 'humm' that is emitted to all players within 3k of a cloaked ship.
But not every ship can mount every Cloaking Device. These are the limits for the various ship types:

Cloaking Devices can be activated and deactivated with the /cloak command or by binding it to a key in the settings.

Cloak Disruptors
Cloak Disruptors are advanced equipment allowing you to pull ships out of cloak and keep them from cloaking again. They replace the CM Slot on a given ship. A Cloak disruptor cannot be used together with a cloaking device.
Cloak Disruptors must be built on PoBs.
But not every ship can mount every Cloak Disruptor. There is limits for the various ship types:

| Name | Range | Cooldown time | Cargo usage | Shiptype(s) |
| Cloak Disruptor Type-1 | 3000m | 30 sec | 10 | Fighters, Transports, Gunboats |
| Cloak Disruptor Type-2 | 6000m | 60 sec | 200 | Destroyers, Cruisers and Battlecruisers |
| Cloak Disruptor Type-3 | 9000m | 90 sec | 450 | Battleships, Carriers and Dreadnoughts |
Cloak Disruptors can be activated by using the /disruptor command or by binding it to a key in the settings. Using it will consume 50 Cloaking Device Batteries. Ships are disrupted for as long as the cooldown lasts.

Jump Drives
Jump Drives are devices that can be mounted on capital ships to move across Sirius within an instant. There are two methods of jumping with a capital ship. A 'blind jump' where you could end up anyway, or a jump with co-ordinates that takes you to a specific spot.
Notes: Jump Drives must be built on PoBs.
A Jump Drive charge can be disabled with a CD.
Transports cannot be jumped.
There are three different types of Jump Drive:

There are three different types of Jump Drive:
| Name | Charge Time | Minimum Amount Jump Batteries | Requied Powercore | Can Jump Other Ships? |
| Jump Drive MK2 | 60 seconds | 420 | 1875000 | No |
| Jump Drive MK3 | 30 seconds | 450 | 6000000 | No |
| Jump Drive MK4 | 3:45 minutes | 450 | 4500000 | Yes (1k range) |
Jumpdrives have various commands. The main two are /charge and /jump. Both of these can be mapped to a key in the options menu. There are others that will be covered in the Hyperspace section.

Hyperspace Scanners
Jump Drives have the ability to jump to specific point in space. For this to be possible, the jump ship will require coordinates. There are two ways of doing this, a hyperspace scanner, and a hyperspace matrix.
Notes: Both the Matrix and Scanners must be built on a PoB.
Coordinates created by scanners will lose their accuracy after 30 days. They will still work but might fling a few hundred clicks from the original target.

There are three different types of Hyperspace Scanner, and one type of Matrix:
| Name | Scan Time | Cargo Required | Fuel Required | Powercore Required | Accuracy |
| Hyperspace Scanner MK1 | 100 seconds | 800 | 600 Mox 700 Oil 700 H-Fuel 800 Deuterium 800 Helium3 | 100000 | 90k within scan location |
| Hyperspace Scanner MK2 | 100 seconds | 600 | 600 Mox 700 Oil 700 H-Fuel 800 Deuterium 800 Helium3 | 100000 | 50k within scan location |
| Hyperspace Scanner MK3 | 1000 seconds | 400 | 10000 Mox 11670 Oil 11670 H-Fuel 13350 Deuterium 13350 Helium3 | 100000 | 25k within scan location |
| Name | Fuel | Cargo Required | Accuracy | ||
| Hyperspace Matrix MK1 | Jump Drive Batteries | 25 | 5k of vessel |
The scanning begins once you type /survey. Once the period begins, you cannot move otherwise you'll stop the scanning. Once the scanning is complete you'll get a long string of characters. You'll need to write this down or copy it from the dsace.log file.
Once you've got this you can use the /setcoords command on the jumpship and supplying the coordinates,
the /jump command will now take you directly to where you scanned (within the radius of what you scanner allowed).
Using the /beacon command on a ship with a Hyperspace Matrix mounted will allow any ship with a charged jumpdrive to jump to it. Using the /jumpbeacon playername command will then jump the ship to the beacon ship (replace playername with the name of the ship that has activated the beacon). Beware, there is only a 30 second period where you can jump to the beacon, so timing is important.
(I am a little unsure about the amount of fuel required for the Mk3, can anyone correct me on that if it's wrong?)

Docking modules seem to be operational once more as it used to be, IE:
Snubs can dock by selecting the equipped ship and pressing F3, and the carrier can allow docking by selecting the snub and typing /allowdock
you can view docked ships by doing /listdocked and forcibly jettison ships with /jettison <shipname>

They are made in player-owned bases or POBs.
You can buy them from other players or player-owned bases that sell them, or craft them yourself in a POB.
