Originally by: QT McWhiskers It is quite obvious none of you have ever lived in a wormhole where it is require to cloak certain ships. And no I am not talking about my anathema or my pilgrim. Im talking about my orca. You ever tried to pop a wormhole with an orca and the wormhole has a variance on the mass? You need to have an orca inside of a potentially hostile wormhole for a protracted period of time while you get the mass right with BC/BS.
Not supported.
It is quite obvious an Orca's capacitor not recharging while cloaked has nothing to do with what you are arguing about. Did you read my entire proposal?
<-- Marlona Sky by the way.

Need more support, you know you want to!
Also this would include a -100% to shield recharge. You can't repair your armor, while cloaked so it would only make sense that shields don't passive recharge.
Remember people, this is for NON-COVERT OPS CLOAKS ONLY!

Originally by: Ting Ting Edited by: Ting Ting on 27/02/2011 13:55:51 -100% to recharge time means the recharge time will go to 0 and cap will recharge instantly.
Just incredible how long it took for someone to point that out. Amazing to see how many people give a +1 to such an obviously wrong approach to achieve a desired effect.
You might want to adjust your proposal to something like -100% capacitor recharge.
Nice catch there. I would change it to -100% capacitor recharge but sadly Marlona Sky account is currently serving a forum ban for a while, so it won't let me edit it. I hope people are able to read enough to know it was supposed to say capacitor recharge.
That being said, can I get a thumbs up on this now?

Originally by: Ephemeron I still believe that since the purpose of this whole idea is to prevent cloaked capitol ships from jumping without exposing themselves, it would make much more sense to introduce capitol size cloaking device, and simply prevent regular cloaks from activating on capitols. Have like a maximum mass limit.
I support the main idea, but not its implementation.
I was going for the low hanging fruit thing. By introducing a brand new module, you have to do a new blueprint, what it takes to build, etc. I was just hoping for a couple changes to the normal cloak we have now. Thought that would be easier. It is the reason why I think all damage controls should just be flat out passive. Then there is the argument that neutralizing a capital ship/when they log the damage control turns off so it can be killed. A new capital ship damage control could be introduced that uses capacitor and the normal damage control could be set to passive.
So I guess it really just depends on what would be easier for CCP to do. I honestly don't think non capital ships would really suffer at all if they could not regain capacitor or shield while cloaked. They are safe, and that is all 99% of everyone who warps off to a safe spot cares about. After all, it's why they call it a safe spot, not a cap recharge spot.

Edited by: Marconus Orion on 23/03/2011 17:18:46 I would just like to remind everyone that the proposal will have little to no real effect on non-capital ships. The only exception being the black ops battleship which is specifically stated that it should be done in a way to not affect them.
This is also not some silver bullet to ZOMGNERFCAPITALSHIPS or anything like that. It is simply to encourage a better exit strategy than, warp to safe spot, cloak, wait till capacitor is at 72.5% or higher, decloak and insta-jump out in 100% safety.
Also please note that it does not mean when your cloaked you lose shields or capacitor. It just means that whatever your shields and capacitor was at when you cloaked, stays that way while you are cloaked.
Capital ships should be encouraged to have support ships when moving around. This does not mean that, "OMG! Now it will be impossible to go anywhere!!!!"
I have also explained why making an entire new cloak module for capital ships to do this is simply unnecessary when a change to the current one will do just fine without almost minimal to no impact on sub capitals.
