SO what if you could power down your ship instantly (powering up taking a set time) so that anyone in your area would not see you on the overview but can see you visibly if they are close enough. You could physically hide behind planets, roids, stations, etc if they were near.
Just a crazy idea after watching 3 hours worth of Battlestar Galactica episodes lol..

I thought of this too while watching Firefly. Be warned, people will flame you. I predict shoutings of "lern2cloak".
EDIT: I realize it's different from a cloak. I actually think it's a cool idea.

Nice idea actually.
The only ones who will object are the criminals here anyway, so just ignore them.

that is a nice idea,
has nice drawbacks to keep it balanced, i would assume that would mean no overview, no shields and no scanning right?

that is a pretty awesome idea actually. you could still probe the person out but once you warp to them, it would be confusing until you actually start looking for them.

Just what I was thinking. What about local?? If you are in a powered down ship, it would be feasible that you would be able to 'see' local, and the chat on it, but not actually send anything?

your proposed system only works if the scanning ship was looking for electronic signatures.
Any system that relys on bouncing a signal of a physical object, eg Radar or Ladar, would still find the ship, wether the ship had power or not.

Since some ppl are desperately searching a way to get cloaked ships away from theyr space, how about if we replace cloaking with this idea? :)

Remove cloaks from ships that arent covert ops cloakable, and implement this idea.
Would fit my RP perfectly.

they would have a contact, but with no power it should be more difficult to tell the difference between a ship and floating space junk

Wow very nice idea Seribrithia.
This would be a nice feature to the game and would add a little bit of "spice" to the whole ... staying hidden trick. Also this feature would be pretty balanced as is, for example
(Pros and Cons for the person who powers-down their ship and in general gameplay)
Pros:
> Completely invisible via overview and most electronic devices.
> Adds creativity to making a safespot. (Safespots behind planets or behind asteroids would decrease ur chance of being found)
> Actually "searching" for a ship with you eyes out in space would be a nice change up every once in a while.
Cons:
> If someone does find you while ur power-downed ... well, your just screwed. (Powering up should take some time to complete. No mods would work while powered-down and you have no shields, hull and armor are not effected obviously)
> Scan probes would still work in finding your ship, but it souldent be able to pinpoint you down as well as it would normally if u were "powered-up".
> Adding on to the scan probes, maybe if ur trying to probe a ship that is "powered-down" the closest they can get is within the ~30-50km range?
Just a few things of who i could see this implemented.
Great idea!

How good would it be if you could power down then eject, then you can leave a ship somewhere relatively safely without (too much) fear of it being stolen?

Its an idea. But brix will be shat by people who are already plagued by AFK Cloakers.
We should be allowed to run without containment though. Maybe then the Blood Raiders will see I'm on their side.

Someone should tell the jetcans to power down their systems, they keep appearing on my overview.

Nice idea. Could add to the argument for removing cloaks from non-Covert/Spec Ops ships if implimented correctly.
"Your farming ship can no longer AFK cloak because it can no longer fit a cloak, but you can opt to power down whilst hiding from the hunters..."

As scanning for (powered) ships (and anything else for that matter) is now pittifully easy, scanning for powered down ships should take some real effort as hinted by Xiao. It would I'd say, make it a challenge for the hunters and add some risk element to the current (afk?) cloaking crowd without totally removing the ability to sit (virtually) hidden.
Fresh idea, well done Seribrithia.

for a General discussion idea weirdly this sounds really nice
actually Blackops ships could have this as a module like covert ops cloaking device
it would made those unworthy expensive ships a reason to be worthy

Powering down should be quick and you should only to be able to be powered down for 2 or so hours, after that you start to take hull damage, rp reasons could be life support or cosmic radiation.
You are still able to be probed and D-scanned while you are powered down making it not like ninja cloaking.
All passive mods will be offline as well as shield (this stops armor buffer tanks getting an upper hand)
When powered down, you will be able to see local but not be ln local, making it good for ambushes.
Powering up should tabe about 3 minutes and use 95% cap, a skill like jump drive operation could reduce the cap usage.
And to finish, thank you for reading my sig

hate to say it but isnt this what the cloak effectively does? if its to serve a purpose to hide then..why add something else?

The cloak makes it too easy to hide in a non-cloaking ship, this is the much needed balance.

Not to forget those pesky asteroids! I demand they turn off all their electronic equipment!
Kinda like ops idea though

This is something I originally thought about when I started eve, such things as:
Don't hit the asteroid, I might crash :P
Or, can I hide from pirates behind this large roid 
So yeah, this could be interesting.
Questions though:
Would it remove all forms of chat ?
Will it be scanneble using scan probes ?
Would this remove someone from local ?

As far as RP-***ging goes you CCP could come up with the fact that your overview isnt programmed to understand powered down ships.
