Cloaking Device

Oct 23, 2009 MikeyCarter link
I'd love to see/have a cloaking device. Maybe partially visible when moving and not on radar if under a speed 30m/s or something like that. Also can't fire.

Mainly used to sneak into an area, or sneak out of.

That's a good idea, and in advance of the peanut gallery arriving.. I'll mention that reading the sticky "Read before posting" thread is a good idea. Cloaking devices have been oft-discussed on here.

Cloaking is a hotly debated issue in this community. I personally believe Cloak is a bad idea for the game, as it would be shamelessly abused and completely waste the development of static defenses that have taken years to see fielded.

There's a laundry list of other issues relating to Cloaks, but I would suggest you use "Read Before Posting" to look at the pre-existing topic.

I'm completely against the idea of cloaks. Like the pyrex guy said, we've got enough laundry to do with out having to worry about a bunch of dirty cloaks (that would probably need dry cleaned, to boot).

Plus, if you have cloaks, well, you'll need daggers and dark alleys and stuff,

and this is more of a space game, you know?

Mikey, take a look at this suggestion from awhile back:

It has some of what you're looking for (I think), plus a lot more.

Can we land on planets yet?

Yes, as long as they are very small and you don't smash into them too hard.

I thought that was what roid occlusion and the upcoming sector list change were supposed to accomplish? Or is that more camo than cloak? We could just paint the ships black with white dots. That would work. Wouldn't it?
