Default Re: Race/Ship set designers, can someone do this? (Invisible Shipset Finished!)

This is frowned upon in other games like FPS where people make custom skins which are all black to make them difficult to see in dark areas. This just gives one player an advantage over the others.

I would have no trouble with a cloaking race so long as their shipsets were somewhat easy to see. You could still make them mostly black, but if they have a defined border of a different color. [Can you make a clear .bmp?] Having it any other way would just lead to abuse.

The game already handles cloaking and sight based on cloak, storms, sensors, etc. In the interest of fairness this should not be allowed. Think of what would happen if everyone started going around with invisible shipsets.
