I think cloak should make your ship invisible, not just transparent.
I do like the no fuel part, that would be quite nice ^_^;

So basically you want to put a feature into the mod that will help people avoid interaction in an already aging game with dwindling numbers of players each day? No thanks.

Was far more a fan of the powered down mode idea where ships wouldn't be able to move at all.

Yes, that'd probably make more sense.

Just make another device called "Radar jamming device" keep the cloak :| I mean think about it, more things to research on your base.
Cloak, Jump, Survey, Docking module and Radar Jamming (and maybe more?).

Radar does not work on cloaks. Read my sig.

You don't get it, I'm talking about his idea, he wants that the cloak will not simply cloak someone, instead you'll still show up, but not on the radar. My Idea is make another device that has this ability, to not show up on the radar instead of changing the cloak.

Explain your reasoning.


EDIT: The suggested idea clashes with what FL is actually about. And that by you saying that I don't get it is stupid because I am the proprietor cloaking technology along with others. So watch it.

I was gonna say, this idea sounds more like a radar jammer than a cloak, which could be neat. Maybe have it use a weapon slot, or maybe as a new type of scanner.

I would ignore the cloak part altogether and focus on the radar jamming aspect and work with that.

Draft:

- It'll make your ship vanish from any scanners (like the current cloak does)
- It can't be targeted or scanned, but still it'll be visible
- Your vessels shape will remain visible at ~50% transparency (or completely visible)
- You can only move at impulse (and thrust?) speed
- Your powercore (and shield?) will be offline
- Takes as much time to charge as normal cloak does
- Is mounted on a CM (or CD?) slot
- Takes no fuel to use

Such device would give ambuscades, smuggling runs, trading, piracy, recon/escort missions, explorations and other stuff a totally new meaning. Would it be too overpowered/unbalanced? I can't say it. What is your opinion?

Will be not bad idea. I might want not to have both shields and power down however. If you will be visible - no need to kill shields. Energy might be enough. Or you will get problems with explosive gas and mines.
I honestly want some cloak that wont waste fuel. Or at least ballance current ones for using em on all kind of ships.

Radar jammer to jam what exactly?
