So, these cloaks.

[JayDee Kasane]

Hehe, I can already see pirates coming into mining fields while cloaked, on heavy bombers. just to make sure that certain Hege won't hit cruise button.

I already saw few cloacked traders (well I not ''saw'' because of stelth)
thins thing must be fixed as well. some powertraders on 5000 ships will have 3500 ore and 1100 fuel to cloack themself. all this cloak things must be reballanced

Name me a 5k'er with CM, except for ZBT (that can't dock in house space anyway)

Also, 3500 ore on a 5k'er? I'm sorry, but that equals to 15 million fine EACH time you make a run, if carrying an ore. a 30% drop in profits.
There's a reason why so many 5k'ers were flying with Au8 only.

You are, definitely, not a powertrader:D

sure thing Im not:P
And I mean this: trader jump off from TL when see red target in 13k away. before pirate can get to him he can activate cruise engines and cloak. so his 30% loss can turn into escaping from paying 5-10 millions to pirate
so if trader will see many pirate on his route he will have more cash after all...

If you know how to avoid pirates you don't need a fancy cloaking shizz...
the au8 it's the perfect defense on a 5ker if you'r 20k from a friendly base

going for 3.6k ore i would just rather take a smaller transport (libertybattle transport) and rape all pirates i see with 3.6k ore on board.
And yes, i'm a powertrader, whOREtrader,powerminner,capplayer etc. and i use the most unholy methods to win 8-|

cloaking module it's just the ultimate weapon for trolls

Also, true powertraders have House Military cruiser chars on their favourite paths.
But that's indeed an emergency, ultima ratio situation if you have to relog into cruiser, because you can lose 10-30 minutes as a result, if not more. Which is a big no. (for ore haulers, at least)

shhhhhh it's our secret

Well, imho - it's easier to play carefully and avoid pirates, then drop your profits by this amount.

Imo, the real purpose of cloaked transports is to serve as an ultimate scout ship.

Barge with cloak, possible? :unsure:

We make the rules, you follow them.

Sure, you can stay cloaked for 10 continuous hours with a full tank.

So someone can mount a CAU 8, fill his barge with ~30k ore and the rest h-fuel and is almost invulnerable.
What a crap.

Can I subtarget mounted cloaking devices for nova-pewpew?
(not only on a barge, more in general)

[Adam_Spire]

But with the space a cau8 takes and the space a Cloak takes, dont you need H fuel to run the things?

Isnt it 1 second per 1 h-fuel?

Does having a larger Cloak system mean less fuel usage? No fuel usage?

Is the cloak complete or does it leave a background distortion?

How long does a cloak take to cloak?

Do engine trails or cruise trails show up while cloaked?

Can you fire while cloaked?:)

Can you fire the second the cloak is turned off or do you have to wait 10 seconds before firing?

Bet you wish you got a old, no loner obtainable, nomad power cell?

Sometimes, when all you want is to gain your freedom, you must be willing to risk it all.

[JayDee Kasane]

Barge is too big and too slow. so even cloaked players would be able to see it. and due to low speed cloaking it is no point. it will run out of fuel even faster then on 5000 ship. I guess...
