Non-Nomad RP on Nomad Cloaked ships

[Haste]

Nomad cloaks do need to be changed, although I think they should remain fuel-less and "unique" in some way. However, I've personally experienced one of the main drawbacks: you fly a K'Hara| tagged ship, people assume you have a cloak, and don't bother looking for you. That way, you miss out on interactions.

It's really annoying the other way around, too: even if you're looking for a "passive" interaction on a non-Nomad character, cloaked Nomads don't bother uncloaking as they're worried they might get shot. Again, you miss out on a player-player interaction which is what a multiplayer game is all about.

The cloaks somehow need to be limited in such a way that Nomads don't just blindly toggle it on as they go on an adventure, and then leave it on forever. Fuel is not ideal. Nomads have very few bases, and restocking regular ammo is enough of a pain as-is.

A slow(ish) powercore drain might be useful. It'd partially counter/nerf the lame sneak-up-and-kill tactics cloaks can be used for, and add a timer of sorts: you run out of powercore, your cloak turns off. Combine that with a long charge-up time, and you have to actually think about when you turn on your cloak.

More on-topic: if "indie" cloaks are proving to be problematic, they're easy enough to get rid of. The Trial ID is not supposed to be a tool for "special human roleplay". Additionally, the Trial ID is all about player-player interactions to practice Nomad behavior, so it doesn't really benefit much from a cloak anyways.

Oh, and before people claim "qq u just dont liek nomads having an advantage over u" - I fly both Aoi| and K'Hara| quite a lot.
