Dear Jansen

Really, though, isn't that just a little over the top? No RP requirement and you can't see them until they've got their guns pointed up your butt? Really?

Who said they are not obligated to roleplay with you before they shoot you?...

Their ID.

I don't know about the Wilde ID, but at least for the Nomad IDs, there are many systems in which they can just start shooting at you; they don't need to say a word.

Combined with their infinite cloak, the Noms are being given a free pass to sneak up on people and insta-gib them.

I don't understand how the admins can be so two-faced about this. On one hand, they sanction the crap out of people for not RPing before pew, or not RPing enough before pew. But then they turn around and justify the alien-faction players pewing without a word with 'space is dangerous, deal with it'.

Those IDs have stict ZOI restrictions.

Wild and Nomads are mysterious. Nom's aren't human and Wild...well, human in form, not in mind. See, they're supposed to be the scourge of Sirius and therefore they're going to have abilities that the human race have not. This might make them seem a bit overpowered but really it's just whether you play for RP or balance. It's all also very much in the hands of the pilot who's playing that character. They're not impossible.

Protip: When you know (no doubt you'll have checked the player list) there is a wild or nomad in the system. It's quite simple really. Don't sit still. You're asking for it.

Protip: Nomad or Wilde snubs with a cloak are going to melt in about a minute if you spam missiles at them.

No Countermeasures, you know.

And 30 seconds is more than enough time to disrupt their cloak.

Really? Wilde don't have a strict ZoI and are responsible for most of the complaints about minimal rp in combination with infinite cloaks.

Solution is easy: Energy drain to zero on uncloaking.

So the "uncloak + snac" insta kills are technically impossible. You can sneak up, but you cannot backstab instantly.

Don't sit still. You're asking for it.

It is SO atmospheric, if you do a rp conversation to constantly stay on thrust while moving the mouse, instead of just typing and just playing.

Generally speaking: a few seconds of warning and reaction time should be not too much to ask for. Energy drain on uncloak and be done with the problem.

Wait, Cloak does not drain powercore? Dafuq?

Yeah, already got few incidents when I flied my Whale through Omicrons - Nomad GB uncloaked just before me, and blue in a minute.

Though it was somewhere mentioned - cloaks on nomad ships going to drain powercore. Not sure if it'll be, but I hope.

Well Noms should use a lot of power for cloak and keeping it on needs a lot of power too...

But still I don't see reason why cloak is available for Wilde and Aoi... Noms are using their body power ... But how can they do it with human ships?

Except Power cell...

That'd be because in vanilla Freelancer it's the Wilde that are flying cloaked ships
