Active camuflage block

[zerolightning]

This block is like the cloaker but is a cheaper block and uses not a lot of power.

It can be activated by logistics or/and activation if you are in the ship like wepons.

This block deos not make you completly invisible,you cna still be detected.

Pirates can't detect you whit the Cloaker but whit the block they can detect you if they are in a 50 or 30 meters/Km/Miles.

There is a downside to it:

1. You are not fully invisible.
2. Pirate can detect you if they are in a radius of blocks/meters/KM/Miles.
3. The block is weak agaist any type of damage.
4. You need to make the exterior out of the Camuflage blocks.
5. Players(whit good eyes or if they pay atention) could detect you and your ship that is camuflaged.

On the bright side:

1. Good for spy-ships and escape pods.
2. Deos not use a lot of power.
3. Helpful if you plan hideing for some time.
4. Helpful for undock ships that don't have sombody to drive/fly/someting
5. Cheap

P.S. sorry for my bad English

It might be easier if the block did not have to cover the entire outside, instead maybe it acts as a cloak+Jam as long as the pirate/enemy is farther than (Sector Size/2) KM? (if the block got shot while having to cover the entire outside more calculations would be needed, which may lag)

maybe it could be a block with less hitpoints and no mass so it wont be influenced with cloakingmodule?!

I said that here:

3. The block is weak agaist any type of damage.

I don't like this. It would be the same as having jam + black hull. Nothing new really, unless you would be flying in front of a planet, which only really matters when you are in the same sector as that planet and someone else is near that sector, in which case they would clearly see you. So no, I wouldn't use it, even if my life depended on it (actually, especially when my life depended on it), because it would just use valuable energy.

What if the skybox is extremely bright? black hull is useless there.

What do you mean when you say it doesn't make you fully invisible?

 

[FunnyBunny14]

I believe he means that you would be able to spot the edges of the ship, kind of like when you spot an octopus or a chameleon.

When you look at the camuflaged ship,the blocks behind it are not clear,the blocks are weird,a litlle bid like

a chameleon.
