How about a new cloak, that is tied to sheild percentage, but allows for the break of target locks upon its cycle completion.
example.
Harmonized Cloak
X second cycle time, slightly higher cpu usage and drops a random sheild stat upon each use, cloak only activates after X amount of time has elapsed, but when it does, as long as the sheild is above ( at a "off the top of my head" amount say 60% ) upon the cycle concluding all locks are broken and the ship cloaks,
imagine a ship has been caught off guard, interceptors are racing towards it after locking it from a far distance, with a conventional cloak, as soon as that target lock is applied, your pretty much screwed,
however as you ships computer anylyses the incoming locks it slowly alters the sheild changing the frequency to break the enemys lock, allowing the ship to escape,
however this changes the stopping power of the sheild dropping a stat and potentially allowing more damage, and can only function if it has a certain amount of power left., (ie 60%)
if the enemy ships are too far out, or a ship is not being activley engaged it could allow ships to slip out from the net,
all other restrictions for cloaks would apply ie, 2500m decloak, no cloaks in pos sheilds etc
im not too sure about a movement penalty, during cloak, so thats something for you guys...

Essentally a special highslot Turret that shoots a Magnetic Tow hook in a sence that can be used to drag empty/abandoned ships back to station. how it works its slightly complicated. it depends on the mass of the tow ship and the mass of the ship being towed. simply if the ship towing has less mass than the ship thats being towed it wont be able to move it, (hence stopping ceptors from towing off random cap ships)
if you were to do this, they need to add partially destroyed wrecks that you can scan down and rebuild with ship parts, |
