hmm,both interesting ideas,I like jamming more :)
Could be fun,if it would be used only on spy ship.
You scout enemy fleet,they scout yours,both brings ships that are good against enemy type of fleet and it turns out epic battle :laugh:
Quote:Radar jammer would be so easily abused to do... Just about anything... The only people I can see being granted access to it would be those such as Mon'Star, Phantom/Wilde/Nomad bombers/fighters,
Don't get me wrong, I'd sooner see it not implemented at all, but if a few key Dev's were to suddenly turn senile and implement this, I'd rather only a handful of people have access to it.
' Wrote:Jamming is really nice, but could be easily abused. Someone could walk up your back, where you are not looking to shoot you and get a kill.
Unless it is a capital ship like a Spyglass (can be seen at 20k XD), you are flying as if you were really cloaked. Space is wide heh.
But a cool alternative could be a low signature membrane. You'd only be detected at 5-7.5k instead of 15(?). The low signature membrane could act as an armor upgrade, taking cargo space and giving a small armor multiplier (1.75, half of a mk8) [needs balancing]. I do not know if this is doable, but we've seen everything lately.
It would only be useful on fighters and bombers (should be mountable only by them).
Big ships couldn't use them since they would still logically appear on scanners because of their huge size.
disagreed
like i said, Nomad VHF/LF, Order stealth light fighter, any sort of Recon ship only, those ships are not the ship can be easily abuse
Yes they could. Equiping a Nomad LF with a practical cloak and having it fall into the wrong hands? Bad, but that isn't to say that it shouldn't be done.
What both camps need to realise is that both points are true, but no one should outweigh the other without careful discussion and thought. As it stands our game dynamics get static at times, so this could get things rolling in some sectors.
I like the probe idea for the missile cam that someone mentioned earlier.
Also, I think the radar jamming would be a great addition; playing off a couple peoples ideas, we could make it take an armor upgrade slot and using it would drain energy.
