' Wrote:Yea, it shuts down all systems... you have no shields, no weapon power, no engine power - you're dead in space unable to move or react to attack. Should probably take 10-15 seconds to 'power up' the ship again.
It wouldnt make you invisible, just not detectable on scanners, this way you can still be fired at and the effect is only useful for smaller ships - a battleship would still be visible from 15k+ away due to it's large size.
except you find a nice gascloud:D
/edit: or you are behind a planet/moon

The it will take sense to add especially roleplay nice option of hardly damaged engines with bodies of flame (Yepp, i have no idea about how can it be done and can it be done at all). I mean something like an LSF ship that Trent and King met in the second part of the mission one.
As i remember, there is a special model for that ship, but if it will be possible to make it avaliable for all the ships, it will be nice for finishing the roleplay-related PVP and will be useful for events at all.
Yes, my technical ignorance is absolute.

What if there's some type of ping-fart or something else, and you stay.. 'stuck'?
Like... the server crashes/resets and your still 'disabled'.
" /set powerdown <On|Off> <Reset> "
*Shrugs*, I dunno.

If cannon is indeed thinking about implementing radar invisiblity as well then make the ship drift after power kill.

Shut off all your running lights, go dark, and drift?

You wont drift very far, even if you shut off power when you're at max thruster speed, you'll only go like 3-4k tops before you slow to a stop. Freelancer space has resistance =P

Good enough to sneak near a patrol with a small smuggling vessel.

Deshielded ship? Free kill. *fires triple razors* boom! Headshot!
There's no real benefit in having your shields deactivated. I know I'd never use this command for anything. Powering down would be pretty cool though.

It's called Armour, Ashes.
And I've never seen a Cap killed by three razors, which is where it'd be used most.

Ever seen a gunboat killed by two SNACs?
Lots of fun. Killed at least 5 Tridente's that with with The Watchmen.
