I dont like the fact that cloaking takes so long to work it should be instant to turn on and slow to turn off.
Also the fact that kluth can get pinged while cloaked means we get shot at while we cant shoot back at all.
if there is going to br pinging allowed it should be like the jump cruiser, and allow only one type of cruiser able to do it.
many scifi shows and movies show how hard it is to detect cloaked vessels, so it shouldn't be so easy that everybody can to it in almost any ship.
I also think that Kluth shoud have shields if there is going to be pinging and delays in cloaking
the kluth have been traveling in space according to darkspace history for over 1000 years longer than humans so kluth should have some advantages
just a suggestion but i would like to see something done about this cloaking delay

kluth weapon effects are strong at long and short range its the same only ICC and UGTO are stronger at close range
and a more advanced race in the game should have some kind of advantage and there is more to the game than just killing

also the attack and jump tactic is how you use the kluth
nothing new there

and I have played with all three factions through the years

ICC can reinforce shields and thier energy doesnt drain that fast considering they should use that energy on shield impacts. Thats an advantage

UGTO Flux beam effects are strong enough to consider it an advantage as well.

so you want to talk balance... the only reason people complained about balance was when there were more people playing as kluth than any other faction. Balance is really a matter of the number of players on each fleet in combat.

Back in the day when I was UGTO or ICC my fleet would join me in battles and planet capping in numbers like 8 or more at a time. we planned things like that and we never heard anyone complain when it was 10 against 10.
But when 10 of any faction show up you will hear some complaints about balance if the odds are off.

I guess maybe only people who have played as kluth will know what i mean
but thanks for the reply

just MAYBE make the decloak instant? Because 1 second is still quite a lot, try uncloacking near say 1 station and 2 dreads, wait 1 second, shoot, and cloak. After that, you have to get out for repairs and HOPE you aint dead yet. I agree with the pinging, eventough its extremely usefull for the enemy. But the uncloack that takes a second is a pain:p
