Radar Occlusion

Aug 14, 2010 Jmvcilus link
Ok, for some reason bots can see me when im behind a roid or in an ion storm and I can't see them. So, all I'm asking is that if bots or anyone can pick me up via scanners, then I too can pick them up. If I can't see them, they shouldn't be able to see me. This is especially annoying when losing a mill in ship/cargo by being killed by something that wasn't even on my radar because it was half behind a roid. >_<

Well in theory radar occlusion should apply to everything, but it's ray tracing so making it do so might just be too intensive. So , I'd support a suggestion that it could be tried , and rolled back if everyone lagged out ...

It's definitely something we want to add. Without it, there isn't a lot of point to fog and hiding around asteroids and things. There are some technical and performance considerations, as Ecka says, we haven't quite sorted out how we're going to implement it. But it is on The List, so to speak.
