Topic: Maskers

Maskers help you to hide your robots by generating and emitting noise to the surrounding area. The module actually enhances the default masking value of your robot by a certain percentage.

Shouldn't masker somehow reduce the emission of the white noise (Plasma stealth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaking_device)? Cause if something detects that a certain area ("emitting noise to the surrounding area") that might be suspicious therefore not really stealthy.

I was just wondering.

Re: Maskers

descriptions of masking and ecm are somehow unlogical.

there are anti-sound devices in real life - they can completely cancel sounds in a certain area  but due to a basic rule of physics (conservation of energy) this devices actually create a much louder noise outside that area.

someone masking modules would be easy to detect from further away.

This is actually the reason why the german name of the signal masking module is "signal supressor". In its descriptions its REDUCING the emission of signals...

Re: Maskers

Dan is still in M2S, didn't you get the memo to switch to 62nd?
