To go into a bit more depth on this.

The current engagement test was an interesting experience.

The amount of damage done in New London yesterday propped BAF and HMS indies to plug up every gate, escorting every person to jump into the system with caps so they do not get jumped, all the while constantly warning about the present threat via system chat. Even the Core brought down a battlegroup just to get rid of the threat. It felt like a mini event.

But again, the nomad cloak plays a large part in all of this. A nomad that engages on sight would be a reasonable threat if they were always visible. Perhaps that could be a limitation Huggie should impose on the current members - if you want to use the no-warning approach, no cloak allowed.

Alternatively, modifying the nomad cloak sound into something much more audible and eerie as well as increasing the sound range would allow people to notice the threat a bit better.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I found it incredibly unfair, and I never did know what the cloaking sound was since I can't use loud sound.

As it is at the moment, as I said before, is a disaster from a gameplay perspective. It doesn't make it FUN, it makes it irritating and an annoying force of nature that you can simply not avoid.

I think something should be changed regarding this, Sindroms' solutions are quite appropriate.
