New cloak idea

[Narcotic]

This is not great idea, since you weaken heavy ships this way. If ship remain 50% visible, what point to use it? For sudden attacks even current type will work. But for retreating this one will be just a waste, since you are still visible, can't cruise away, can't shoot... what point?

Of course it has disadvantages. Otherwise it wouldn't be balanced. Heavy ships could use it for sneaking into areas where they can do heavy damage. Of course it'd make more sense to use the current cloak, when trying to retreat out of a battle while being in CD range. But it costs fuel, which is limited.

Besides, as the current cloak is supereffective on caps, it rather sucks on snubs/gunboats. This one might be an option for them to have "stealth devices", too. And I'd like to repeat, that it's not about a substitute, but an alternative cloak.

The main advantage is that it wouldn't consume fuel. So yes, regarding caps, it'd probably only make sense on CAU8 Carriers with docking modules and stuff. Or cruisers with a small cargo hold.
