What I'm saying is that cloak effect weapons get a large damage boost if you fire them while cloaked. They still uncloak you after you fire, though. This makes the primary weapons of cloaker ships a high alpha striker, stealth bomber, hit-and-run, etc, type weapon.

I think you're failing to account for the fact that this is both expensive and wasteful. If you dump all your resources into a super fleet like this, you'll likely be leaving your territory, planets, and stations undefended and easy to destroy with a counter attack. This, of course, will not...

I never said it wouldn't decloak you. It WOULD decloak you, making cloak weapons primarily alpha hit-and-run style weapons.

Cloaking missiles bypassing AMS is a neat idea. Not too sure about the others, though. Personally, I'd give cloaked weapons a bonus similar to Overdrive, except instead of having 6x power cost, it would only work while cloaked.

RE: Those people shouldn't play on a server with a minimum faction membership count that they do not meet.

Won't those turrets move around and ruin things inside the hangar?

That's why you DON'T claim the same system for mining that your secret base is in.

If people don't want to join a faction, then maybe they shouldn't play on a server that has this enabled? Or be smart enough to hide their base well.

I wasn't "disparaging" you or your ideal server, buddy. I even agreed with your post on it sucking that there weren't any servers like that around right now. Calm down. Do you need someone to tie your feet to the ground so you stop jumping to conclusions? So... because it's your opinion that...

I think I would prefer to keep things as they are. It's a lot more complicated to balance the resource costs otherwise, and you don't have to look at a simple aesthetic choice (do I use thin hull or thick hull here?) as a major combat effectiveness choice instead.

Missile/Pulse/Explosive is a garbage weapon that I can't recommend for anyone, unless your enemies are slow with basic or only one layer of standard/advanced. Armor completely annihilates the effectiveness of missiles, unless they're using Pierce. I recommend some sort of punch cannon, 90%...

Knowing you're a solo player, I can see why you'd be angry at this suggestion, but remember- this suggestion is for a non-vanilla config option, that would, presumably, be turned on for PvP servers, and not the kind of server you described in your rant thread a few days back. Newbies should...

I've visited your base on SS before. Your Covenant-style ships have an... interesting(?) wedging style.

Something tells me there's still a lot of demand for EE to use its own config.

Wait, did you only have pierce at 10%? Also, I would suggest you test this out against thicker armor. The results will not be nearly as favorable towards the explosive.

Just a quick question- how are people going to find the solo player's HB? Assuming the person isn't moronic enough to actually set their station to HB and get located in that way, there's not really any way to find it. I personally dislike single man factions because the large majority do...

I don't see why Scavengers couldn't occasionally use Isanths. Just make them look a bit rustier, and wedge them out. I think Zeros should go, though.

Why should people be able to just poof their ship like that, though? You'd most likely activate this when losing a battle you can't run from, so its sole purpose is denying those that have bested you in combat from salvaging your wreck. That sounds like a load of bullshit to me.

I don't think man power is as big of an issue now that we have fleets. It's definitely still an advantage, but not as big of one.

I think it would be nice for Scavengers to use them sometimes. Modified to fit the Scav color theme, of course.
