Its possible to have a ship be completely visible, but not show up on the scanner/sensor "list" thing (and thus, non selectable, similar to how the wreckage of stations that are scattered in say.. colorado work- the models are present, with hitbox etc and all, but they cannot be selected. they are just pieces of floating metal), and if i remember correctly a few mods have that feature incorporated and working without any problems.
No cloak. For one thing, 'cloak' is a fancy VFX for spawning/killing objects.
Nothing more.
Why do you think those two Rheinland Valks after you leave Leeds regain all their hitpoints each time they cloak? they are being removed and respawned.
I do like the idea of ECM though. (ECM; Electronic Countermeasure. IE sensory invisilbity)
Heck it makes me mad as a hornet that the new logging off in space message is about cloaking.
Its more OORP than a lolwutter.
I'd love to see it changed to, say "X player is trying to go stealth" or "go dark" or "escape sensor detection" or "enter sensor-proof mode"
