Radar Jammer Idea - Bad.Wolf - 07-24-2012
I intrested in the cloaking device, but i think its abit over powered in its own way, maybe thats just how i feel about it, but i think it would be better suited to be more of a radar jammer instead, but to make it fair have it use some commodity like the existing cloaking device. to not be visible on radar would be good for smugglers and small ships for striking, only being able to be picked up on visual contact, and with them flying in crusie speed should be easy if your look in that direction, bigger ships it might be less effective but it would be better suited for thoughs less then legal operations, or advoiding pirates. but ships that big are hard to miss to. the cloaking device is a rare thing, making it not really OP because of it being hard to get, but at the same time, having no disadvantages besides a timelimit(of how much fuel is being used).

Ah, yeah, now all you need is someone circumventing the wanted effect. Brilliant idea. >.>

Its not a bad idea, but theres some issues with it, not technical, but iRP and some Ingame. Try working out the details of the scripts and such.

Oh yeah, except can we make different tiers aswell?
Light effective until 10k
Medium effective until 5k
Heavy always effective
EDIT: Nake the fuel consumpton and cargo requirement low, so they could could be used on lighter ships which can't use proper cloaks effectively.

well, just like the cloaks, diffrent versions that consume more 'fuel' over time depending on the ship, fighter to transport for example.

What do you mean wanted effect? i would say it would be better if it wasnt on the contact list but still be able to be targeted, and maybe if cruise would distrupt the effect.
