I've thought about the different captial ships and I think I finally decided that the Cloak (and the IG for that matter) arent that great. The DM has 6 hp's and a /16 rating. IF you have more exp then me, then fine, cloak, i dont care, because when its time to fight its still a 1v1 and my ship is stronger. Same thing with IG. If you use it right it can be an advantage, but I dont think its is that big of a deal...

Also on the DC, this ship is just way too strong, cloak or no cloak....

Ok for the 100th time we all know the current changes to DC are too overpowered.

And it depends on how you use ANY ship as to how effective it is. Like the DC of old, a lot of good DM hunters are high xp cloak hunters and lets face it DM is better than a DC (old ships), yet you wouldn't say the old DC was crap.

I simply would like to see it changed to the exp. 1pt. or whatever above and not lvl above because it would promote people actually thinking about PLANETS or something for protection, teaming with thier alliancemates for protection instead of just dropping alliance and sitting in the open for the next day. Not trying to name anyone, a lot of people have done that.....

Perhaps it would bring back an old element of an old game :)

other than that, Cloaking is only usefull if you are a high rank, and if you are hunting.

Thrandulon, cloaking is quite useful when trading as well, especially if any hunters that come after you are in ships that don't support mines.

It might be interesting to see cloak which is effective with out being higher experience.
