A utility that allows the player to be invisible for enemy/non-allied sensors. This can either be something like a light-bending device or a device that changes the ship's appearance to resemble the background. Either way, other ships will be unable to detect the player. A possible way to balance it is to make it like a boost thruster, so you cannot recharge while it's on, or a technology that allows others to see hidden ships.

Hello @quartz hedge, that suggestion is already on the Roadmap: http://roadmap.cosmoteer.net

(That was just to pull up the roadmap)
Cloaking is already an idea on the roadmap (Ongoing -> More Ship Modules), so that's a good idea!

Oops didn't notice that
Thanks for telling me

No problem! There's lots of stuff on there so it's easy to miss.

I think a better way to do cloaking would be reducing your radar detection range significantly, maybe even to the base vision range
Either that or make it not work when you're firing weapons

Cloaking and Stealth might be reasonable terms for the two things suggested here? Cloaking being the active camouflage (with a short duration?) while Stealth could be a reduction in radar/visual detection range? (interaction with expanded sensor tech?)

I think stealth shouldnt reduce visual detection range without cloaking

that's not cloaking, that's "silence [20 radars], my [ionization module] is talking."

Ye I think a good interaction would also be to make it so multiple radars reduce the stealth effect on enemy ships
So having 4 radars detects better than 1
Even if the max range for non-stealth is the same

balance: rips off ftl cloaking and puts it here if you fire your cloaking is disabled, also things like thruster particles are still visible

Wait did I accidentally copy something? Can you link the original?

if you're about the "ftl cloaking" part, I was referring to cloaking system from ftl: faster than light where cloaking disabled if you fired weapons during its use

Quixotic was saying that Quixotic was blatantly ripping off FTL, I think.
