| Summary | 0007791: Enhance mark III cloaker with abitily to inhibit thread alert from cloaked units | ||||
| Description | Golem cloaked with cloaker starship still puts system (and all adjacent systems) in alert. It would be nice if mark III cloaker made units totally invisible, so they don't trigger alerts and ai eyes. | ||||

For the longest time, cloaking has never hid the presence of units, only their location (and previously, identity, though a bug (0002591 and related) has now allowed you to see the identity of cloaked ships, and that seems to be popular, so it may become official). (See 0002454 for my tip of the day on this) I see no reason to add a new level of cloaking that the AI would react differently to. After all, if you can see the identity of AI cloaked ships on your planets and react accordingly, why shouldn't the AI with yours? Now, if the AI gets a way to hide the identity and firepower of cloaked ships on your planets (aka, their own variant of this new proposed mechanic), I don't see a reason why the Mk. III cloaker couldn't do that or your ships too, like you have proposed. |

Two reasons: - I'd like to have a way to sneak past raide engine world without triggering it - Cloaker III is strange unit. From one point of view, for total 2k knowlegde, it's a bargain if you like attacking with cloacked army. I prefer use of small groups and quick attacks and super-stealh ships is feature I'd like to have. Now I see 0002454 , and you convinced me to your point of view. If you think this feature would break core rules you can close it. |
