Topic: Covert Ops / Cloaking Device

My idea starts with a piece of equipment, a personal cloaking device, probably fitted to the leg slot of a robot.  This piece of equipment has a high cpu and reactor usage and a high accumulator cost, but the pay back is that you are rendered invisible to all enemy players and npcs.

The idea continues with a stealth assassin bot who gets a bonus when using this piece of equipment, probably an assault bot, who can surprise and assassinate enemy bots. 

Another smaller bot that can also use this bonus and be used in a scouting role would also be a possibility.

Of course a nexus module and / or deployable item should also be included, for larger scale cloaking fields,  for ambushes and what not.

And then a counter deployable item that reveals invisible units would also be a possibility.  Let me know what you guys think!

Re: Covert Ops / Cloaking Device

Sounds like you haven't figured out how to use maskers/detectors?

Re: Covert Ops / Cloaking Device

OOoo the first time i went through that i thought it had to do more with some sort of actual sensor / targetting strength, thank you for that

Re: Covert Ops / Cloaking Device

We might expect someone asks for an assault class hauler bot that can carry INSANE LOAD OF 80U OH GOD big_smile

Have a productive day, runner!

Some values concerning this mechanic:

Re: Covert Ops / Cloaking Device

Doek, lvl 10 extensions with a T4 masker only gives 241 masking? On a Cam Mk2? Thats not correct.

It should be 265.98, on an unbonused island without the detection spark. Does your fit calculate spec ops at lvl 10?

Yeah, guess it doesn't roll
