Callate	Posted - 2007.08.02 17:10:00 - [1] Originally by: Vel Kyri beautiful idea - i was just talking about this with corp mates today! make the power-up/down period fairly long - say 10 seconds minimum. (and get a skill which can reduce this time) but while you are powered down, you are not visable as scanners (ie, don't show up as a box, on screen on or scanner). you also are removed from chats (radio silence anyone???) and basically only action you can do is power up... but you can hide pretty easily- it can be difficult to find a ship nestled quietly in the middle of a couple of big asteroids, or 50km awat from a gatem etc etc but of course, if you are seen, you cannot tell if the enemy is locking onto you :) so its a risk you will take. What if you are powered down and the attackers( from the story) can see you sitting there but the attackers ship just isn't able to lock on to the powered down ship? Because it does not have an energy signature? That would make some sense right? Make the ability to see people in overview chance based dpending on the energy signature the powered down ship is emitting. Larger ships will be easier to lock onto when powered down. Anyway, the idea is great!
