Suicide empire gankers got you down? Tired of losing your ore to ore thieves? I present you with the "Chameleon Cloak". This cloak while fitted and activated would act just like a regular cloak, but instead of making you invisible, it will make you look like a different ship. So, as the ore thief steals what he thinks is an ore can sitting by an innocent Retriever, the Deimos pilot disengages the cloak and the fight is on. OR, if you train up for the Chameleon Cloak II, then as you jump through the gate with those 3 battleship BPOs in your hold in what appears to be your trusty Sigil, and the gank squad scans you and locks you down, you disengage the cloak to reveal the Prophecy you are really flying and carnage ensues.
I'd suggest that the Chameleon cloak can only make you look like the same class of ship. You can't cloak a frig to look like a titan, (although this would be quite hilarious) I'd say go by Afterburner size. Frigs and destroyers can look like any other frig or destroyer, Cruisers and BCs likewise and so on. (I suppose you could cloak your Nyx to look like an Erebus.) This will add a twist to PVP as well as give suicide gankers reason to pause. Is it a Hulk, or is it a trap?
So, there you have it. What do you think? |

Wow, yeah, the passive scripted idea is great! Let the script determine what ship you want to "Cham" into. you can pick one, then change it out as needed.

What penalties would you suggest? A targeting time penalty? I agree there should be a downside to fitting it. Also, do you think proximity should decloak you, or what?

Originally by: ATARI BABY extremely bad idea. can you imagine big fleet fights?
i'll quit eve if that idea become real.
Can I have your stuff?
Also, instead of just saying the idea sucks, please back your statement up. What do you think would suck about it? I can imagine big fleet fights. I can also imagine being unable to use the cloak if you activate any of your other modules, so what's the problem? Not knowing the exact commmposition of your enemy addes a little more risk to an engagement. sounds like fun.

Nice troll. There are plenty of uses for this cloak mentioned in this thread.

Originally by: Hugh Ruka nice on paper, dumb in game.
you have to restrict this heavily to prevent misuse ... this becomes something like stealth bombers ... great concept but too restricted in practical use ...
btw your only applications are for solo ships ... you did not list one gang situation ...
Wow, your argument is overwhelming. Surely you have convinced me this is a dumb in game idea because... because...
Still waiting for the reason. Did it occur to you that this is not a fleet module? If you chose to use it in one, you would be at a disadvantage. You don't fit things like a ship scanner or cargo expander or strip miner on a fleet ship (or maybe you do.), and why is this?
