The cloaking device

[RTiger32]

Why not have the cloaking devise operate similarly to the rift generator? Different sizes for different sizes of ship, and limited by mass. Likewise, make a limit to how big a ship can be cloaked, cause having cloaked death stars is very silly.

It should also take much more power to cloak a large freighter compared to say a transport shuttle

Hm, while I agree with you I wonder if a cloaked Death Star would look silly to Rian Johnson and his "new" Star Wars... I dont think the new star wars reached the bottom of creative silliness yet?

during yesterday stream they said the cloacking device is meant as a cheaper option compared to the new station core.
it will take quite some time before it activates and then every action you do to the outside (mining, salvaging, shooting etc) will break the cloak.
that means it's intended use is for hiding stations, not small ships

Well, I for one am not too fond of the idea that you can play "hide and seek" with other players. I'm sure Johnno loves that new mechanic.

I may as well just stay off servers completely from now on.
