Re: new cloaking idea problem.
Tweaking the cloaking system can lead to unexpected outcomes.

Re: new cloaking idea problem.
Cloak modding is sometimes very problamatic.
Hum, we all sound like cloak engineers here. LOL

Re: new cloaking idea problem.
Does the collective hive mind know what is the maximum level for cloaking and scanning that works?

Re: new cloaking idea problem.
How many levels do you need?  I would assume it works up to 255, but have never tested above 13. |

Re: new cloaking idea problem.
Wow. Didn't expect that many answers so quick!!
I wasn't aware that every ship had level 1 sensors by default. That's more than likely the issue. I'm going to check for each sensor type and I'll let everyone know for certain.
I was always of the impression that a sensor level had to be higher than the cloak level to be seen, but if an equal level sensor to cloak will negate the cloak, that would explain a lot.
No, there were no partnerships involved and no allies. It was a test game with just me and the other race.
Thanks, guys!

Re: new cloaking idea problem.
Does this mean that you can't have specific cloaking devices? For example, I have created a Mass Displacement Device.
Provides up to level 8 Gravitic Cloak, but if someone is using a Level 3 Psychic sensor, and I've got a level 3 Gravitic Cloak, would he see me? If so, it kind of makes all these other sensor and cloaking options rather redundant.
Unless I'm missing something, that would mean that a Gravitic Cloaking device would only be effective against Gravitic Sensors, right?

Re: new cloaking idea problem.
Right. That is how it is supposed to work. Each cloak type can only cloak against the same sensor type. The highest level of each cloaking ability on the ship determines how hard it is to detect with each sensor type. Each sensor type is treated separately, and does not care what level of cloaking you have in other areas.
