This would the ICC to hide their ships near gates or Planets and would allow them to Rebel like Ambushes, seeing as they are rebels and all.

Btw what does giving -100k mean…?

Define Balance and Unbalance...

Seems like everyone hates a "New" creativity suggestion that favors one faction.
And seems like a lot of Suggestion sounds "Uber" One man fleet type.
And lets see you Come up with something creative and effective. More to speak, how about suggesting some weapons for Weapon slots?
You plenty well know some people will like this and hate that. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. As game will never meet most people's demand but instead, created enough to make up for the low factors you deemed unfit. I would ask why are you still here? If things are so unbalanced and all, Why are you still here?

Oh by the way, Nice idea! I cant wait to read the UGTO version of this idea. Not too Realistic and not too Unrealistic.

Sounds good except just another 'reason' for ICC to whine about Flux.

I do think its a good idea. I also think UGTO and Kluth need a balancing er...skill. Perhaps an armor bonus for groups of uggys and a damage bonus to groups of kluth? I think that if those bonuses are given a limited circle of effectiveness they would balance out with your idea.

Personally, this seems like a technology most inclined towards pirating, so if Pirates are truly introduced to the game, it would be a great rogue tech for them to have, and then maybe the factions can mod it to their individual ships.

Ok, I wrote this then wanted to add a signature so i lost it ill try to re write it.....

1. Can we call it an "LDF or Light diffusion field" because that’s what is happening, the ICC ship creates a large gravimetric distortion (to coin a trek term) which literally bends the light around the ship because if it absorbed all the light, you would just get a black hole effect.

2. We could balance the ugto's with a "sensor ping" 2 eccm and a scanner are required to generate a sensor ping which destroys the scanner system but shows up whether any ICC are in 500gu of you.

3. The k'luth cloak needs to hide the trail as well. You can manually target and manually detonate torpedoes to get them otherwise

4. There could be a shutdown/startup period of about 5 seconds where neither the systems or the LDF are in effect and there is a message similar to the jumping message "LDF initializing 5 seconds to initialization" or "deactivating LDF 5 seconds until system restart"

also, we could if this isn't enough have a kind of bubble effect around the icc ship because the gravimetric distortion is distorting the rest of the light so you could sort of work out they were there IF you have a sharp eye and they are against a planet or something else with alot of light (it would be difficult to see it against stars)
