Hey


well i was doing a misson and i was on my way 2 the target and i got attacked but some tier 3 interceptors i mean i could kill em so i went round and disabled them but by the time i finished the target had jumped out the system and i was sooo p***ed off and i was thinking maby they should put cloakin in like cloak feild genorators that you can put on your ship and then so its fair they put like a counter measure system you can buy to put in your ship but.... you can put both a cloaking device and a counter measure device on the same ship ! any tell meh wat you think but i bet! some one has come up with this idear bfore.



"dont get mad get even and if that dont work get retarded" words of a important man.......me! muwhahahahha

"Impossible! No ship that small has a cloaking device!" -from Empire Strikes Back, in reference to the Millennium Falcon.


You'll never see one for a starfighter, thank the Force. If you're that worried about it, use IFFscramble

This has been quite a problem lately for me, I get to my mark, they see me run and cloakthen they just follow me around for hrs. invisible. Heres my problem with it all, I'm Master Rifleman and I can cover, but when someone walks by me they uncover me, It's obvious that the jedi is right next to me and I want to shoot him. I can't target him, /tar <Marks name> doesen't work, you can't auto click him. this move is being exploited and it just is getting to rediculous, it needs to either break when someone gets nearby like cover or we should be able to target them. this ruins so many of my bountys. They can place houses while cloaked, drop them and walk inside.


Can this issue please be addressed Tanks?

Also just wondering is there any possible way to break Cloak, like in WOW there was Perception for humans, AOE's for mages etc..

Cloak is impenatrable, however if you dot the cloaker before he cloaks you will be able to follow them around as the dot animations will still show

TBH we BH's need some form of cloak to take us off the radar and overlay map to allow us a true first strike/stalking ability. (imagine the nerf herding that would cause though )

Your template is not suited to fight a cloaker. To be able to kill a cloaker you need serious crowd control to keep him within 20m of you and the ability to survive toe to toe with a cloaker - which isnt that hard because a cloaker is seriously lacking in either offense, defense or healing.
On another note, if he is following you around, breaking your cover over and over again you should first ask him to stop via tells and if he doesnt file a harassment report. Following around other players for extented periods of time is harassment, only exception is a BH stalking a Jedi.

You already can get rifleman /cover to disappear from the radar. Or you could always get Force Powers x4xx yourself...

if you run into a jedi that can cloak that means they have sacrificed something (usually defence) and they are probably master powers (aka 20-40 total melee/ranged def). This means that:


1.if you jump them, you have ever opertunity in the world to pwn them before they know what's going on


2. if you get melee in your template you can stay within range so they cant cloak


3. log and come back later to try to jump the cloaker


4.you DONT have to fight a cloaker...you can always save time and get a new missions on someone else, no one is twisting your arm to kill that one jedi.


5. you dont have to take jedi bounties at all, there are NPC missions, non-BH missions, quest missions, artisans (you could become a crafter, etc).


just dont come running to the forums to cry nerf as soon as your template cant beat EVERY single other template out there with ease
