port and equipment suggestion/idea

[Altana]

As you all know the Battleships can only dock at special ports ex port manhattan(plus there are very few ports), my suggestion is that mod creators add some more ports and change the design of them. my final suggestion is a cloaking device for the Battleships.

Yea fantastic! then they can cloak up and there should be a port in every system so they can keep on respawning over n over.

There will be no need for fighters at all then - Fantastic!.

Give them even more guns, Oh and let them carry cargo so no trader need ever get gunned down again.............






one word lads

BALANCE.

I agree with retribution here.

But those bases look cool. Are they from Eve?

[Altana]

no the bases are not from the eve universe, they are from star trek

Would be cool to see some of them in game I think.

By the way I do think that implementing cloaking devices into the game could be serious fun. They would only have to able to be used by RP players I think though, and be used for tactical purposes, not for pvp and such.
And they would have to be ridiculously expensive, since a cloaking device would give you the most benefits of all tactical measures. And I think that we shouldn't be able to use any of our weapons while cloaked. This would make the whole thing unfair. But engaging cruise should be possible, to make it possible to deeply invade enemy territory.

But do I recall some post of Strail saying the cloaking device would make the server more sensitive to hacking? I'm not sure. This subject was brought up before, but I can't recall the specifics. But there was something about the cloaking devices that made him decide not to use them for players. But some Admins have them...  :-?

[Altana]

I agree with you maverick tactical purposes only.

Battleships should definitely NOT receive cloaking devices just now, as ANYONE can buy them.

If fighters were given cloaks, why would they only be open to RP players? Seems strange logic to me....

And even if cloaks would make hacking easier, so what? It's not like anybody gets stopped now, is it?

well tbh, its a good idea, but unfortunately a bad one too...


for cloaking i would prefer to have it like this



1. Battleships cloaking device drains alot of energy
2. They cant cruise
3. They cant use weps
4. No fighter undocking
5. Cant move at all


well i know most of these should be possible, but not 100% sure about the movement and cruise, some FLAC tweaking is needed

Cloaking devices could be cool especially if it could be tied into the ships shields.  You could only stay cloaked as long as you had a shield bar, and it be treated like radiation (slowly eating away at the shields bar) so that you couldn't stay cloaked.  would truely make using the shields strictly tactical.
