about cloaking

[stefan]

hey admins,if you want to make void more realistic,read this:
Add cloaking devices to all VHF's and battleships.Like Valkyrie in Rheinland,Anubis mk2 must have cloacking device too.Lets don't forget that anubis mk2 is one of the most powerfull ship in Sirius,and thats mean it must have a cloaking device.I think every VHF must have a cloaking device for defence against npcs(the npcs are very annoying),real pirates and also for atacks.And now about BS;the BS is the most powerfull capital ship,and thats mean it must have a cloaking device.If a clan starts an atack against a pirate base,the BS must be cloakable to prevent accidentally BS discovery and fighters too.I think cloaking vill make Void more realistic in the next mod,so post here things like this

[FallenMaris]

u know back on lancers reactor (modding site) they have forbidden ppl to ask how to make these things

and the point was that that cloaking makes you invincible.......
unless admins can make it last a few sec then shut down, otherwise its not a good idea......

[-DESTROYER-]

think about this: the best ship gets the cloaking  :)  :)  and other "stupid" ships don't get cloaking  :D  - don't you think its a bit not fair?  :|

btw if u aint good in pvp - cloaking won't help ya much

I dont think cloaking should not be allowed on this server even though I would like to cloak

reasons: 1.every one will be cloaked at most times

                 2. Traders will complain about dieing alot
                    and say how its not fair and such

                 3. fly by kills will make people mad

                 4. might cause to many problems

[LIMAN]

Bad idea !

[Headhunter]

Very bad idea..

It's not just abou the complaints and restrictions guys.
There is a lot of problems to get a cloaking device to work in a mod that is buyable with the ships.  And causes servers to crash.

[Jase-Katar]

I think changing the cloak from VHF to a light fighter sounds better

The light fighter with a Cloak, would still be no match against a VHF properly set up.

[Ninja-Jinkaz]

yea would cause servers to crash alot cause you would have to equip it as 1 of your guns now that I think about it I had a server I ran for a little while and I had problems getting the cap ships to a alternate view and getting the cloaking device to operate properaly

[URAMI]

LOL  I LOVE THE IDEA!!!!!

Can you imagine me in a cloakable Anubis MKII?  HA HA!  I would 'ghost' the entire server and no one would ever kill me!

Think about it.  I stay cloaked until 1k away, uncloak, ghost ya, cloak again and disappear LMFAO

I LOVE IT!!!!!!  :D  :D

on a more serious note though, if cloaks would be added to the mod, I feel it should only be added to Light Fighters for noob protection reasons.

[geromix]

I think it is a bad idea to add cloaks to VHFs,Light fightrs makes some sense.

I am Totally supporting Cloaking Devices , but maybe cloaking devices with these conditions would make sense , otherwise ..... cloaking would be just annoying and waste of time , So the conditions could be

1. Cloaking devices would be mountable just like elite shield II , (should be mountable in only a few exceptional ships like WA 1 , AT , Anubis MK II , Nomad Valkyrie 1 , Conqueror and a few )

2. It would be costly , maybe like 15-20 mil

3. while in cloaking stats .. it will constantly drain the energy .... energy is out , cloaking is over .

4. Cloaking devices would take at least 30 sec to recharge before cloaking again .

5. Any sort of shooting , firing , mine dropping will uncloak the ship

6. if a player already has a player with Cloaking device locked , cloaking wont make him disappear from selected stats and he can be uncloaked with a CD

7. if a cloaked player in in 200m of another player , he will be uncloaked to that player .

so guys , what do ya think ?

[Ninja-Jinkaz]

hmm i got a idea make the clocking decive and make it cost 1.5 billion so that I would be 1 of the only few  with it and also you need to be in shadows clan to get it, I think that would be a perfect Idea lol..

but to be honest I think the admins can always come up with something to do about it, and if its not added ill still play freelancer just the same plus this is something that will take quite abit of time to plan out and make the server work with the cloak

[Frobozz]

I've had cloaks for years, as an admin, most of us do. Real helpful with smurfs to go see what's what with suspected modders, so remember 'he knows if you been bad or good..." lol

Actually, the way the cloaks work that we give ourselves is you can't fire anything and you can't uncloak. So you're basically in spectator mode full time.  That'd be fine I'd think, a spy mode but can't abuse.
