Hey Igiss is it possible to make the game not show what system a person is in?
For example someone is in the New Berlin system, can you make it say ????, like with the unknown sectors.
One reason for this is that members from alliance or coalition might want to sneak behind a rival teams system without being detected but it says what system they are in, dooming thier efforts.
It would be cool if ships could be equipped with cloaking devices. But the Cloak should only be operational for a period of time (it should consume energy from the weapons system at a constant rate while active).

Yes cloaking plus the "system blocker thing :crazy: ." Would help fighters get where they arent supposed to go in other sides space without being detected except with sight. The only battleship with cloaking abilities should be the osiris and rheinland battleship as they are the only ones that in the story are equiped withg cloaking devices and then just make them cost another 5-10 million dollars more to compensate. Or make a cloaking device that will go in one of the equipment places and make it cost a ton, like 20 mil.
In theory, if a ship is cloaked. it should not figure in the list at all (if it's possible)
Or maybe in place of a sensor/optical cloak it could be some kind of "sensors dampening field"

Cloaking is cheating. Ultimately if any ship will have a cloaking device it will be impossible to destroy, and it won't be important how much energy the device consumes. Several seconds cloaked - and you'll be able to escape any chase.

So, which one have you got? Osiris or Rheinland? :rolleyes:
20 million? A single piece of equipment cannot cost more than 10 million.

Again you want me to hack somewhere deep into the game and change dlls and exes, which is illegal. Not that I'm much concerned about it being illegal, but I have no experience in software cracking. Sorry.
Displaying a system you are in is the only way to find you in the game. You cannot find anyone, no one is able to find you. Very nice, just like being blind.
And remember that very few systems are linear. In most you may choose different paths to other systems and even use different systems to get to some distant system. Be creative not to get caught.
That's a lot of ships there buddy... How do you find time to use them all?
If one were to make a cloaking device (just for the sake of argument... :P) It should act something like the cruise mode. The cloaking device has to charge up, and can be disrupted. While cloaked, you cannot fire any weapons or drop countermeasures and the like. To enter cruise mode, you have to disengage the cloaking ability (because your powerplant can only handle so much). It would be a good way to sneak up on someone, but not a very good device to escape from something with. If you could but distance between you and your advisary, then you could cloak and set up a trp, but other than that it would be useless for getting away.
Like I said, this is just for the sake of argument and voicing my idea.
This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren
The cloak device normally works this way: you equip it on a base, and then become permanently invisible. It cannot be disrupted or consume power, only weapons consume power. It's hardcoded.
No more cloaks OK? It's cheating... read Lancersreactor forum if you wish to know why. They delete all cloak-related discussions on spot.
its almost like asking for a way to get invincible....
i wouldnt like cloaking devices....
there are mods that completely destroy all the fun in the game, taking challanging and exploring. they?re fun for maybe 1 or 2 hours. cloaking would be like this in a way, dont you think?
