i believe radar jammers take more power on elwin but cloakers take less as for long distance shooting whenever the thing goes green you can hit something i have been able to do it once or twice the AI is not that bad if you know how to deal with them i suggest just staying away from then i think one has a stop gun on it (EVIL) so just be careful or take them out from range or another possibility have good shields on your shipA question for the admins of this server:
Did You guys change power consumption and weapon ranges at some point last week?
I started playing on this server last Saturday, and enjoyed a few days of the usual new server activities, (Mining, bringing one of My fighters in, pirate hunting, finding a purdy bit of space to call home, Etc.) and then, around Wednesday I think, things changed:
1: Radar jammer power consumption skyrocketed. All of My starfighters rely on jammers to help even the odds and allow Me to duke it out with the NPC pirates. Why, I had a phenomenal dogfight with one of Your 1200-mass "Mantis" corvettes last week in My 440-mass OU812 Flying Pancake:
I took some damage in that one, but the lootcube that beast dropped made it worth the risk and repair time.
Now, without a jammer, they see Me coming from about 3.5-to-2 kilometers away.... All of them...... I can no longer lure one or two away from their spawn-pack and duel it out. Instead I get pelted with swarm missiles and cannon fire before I can close in, and end up running like a fat guy runs from Richard Simmons (Screams internally). And pirate bases? Fughetaboutit. They see Me coming from about 3.5 Km, and don't stop hammering My fat ass until I get about 7 Km away. Which leads too....
2: Cannon ranges appear to have been quadrupled. As a human player, I have no zoom option, and have to line up long range shots through this awful, HUGE, mostly-solid crosshair (By Glob what I'd give for a real crosshair). Landing a worthwhile shot at anything beyond 2km is more of a gamble then skill.
The pirates on the other hand, are AIs, and suffer no such problem.
Are these changes a bug, or intentional? If they are intentional, could You maybe post what custom settings You are implementing so new players know what to bring to this server? I'm thinking if I want to keep playing here, I'm going to have to fit and bring in My 4000 or 5000-mass ships, just to survive. Making a doomcube is out of the question.
finaly a guy who isnt interested in doomcubesA question for the admins of this server:

You'd be amazed how rare this is. I actually tried to push for disallowing cubes entirely, no support sadly.
ships should automaticly blow up if u make them into doom cubes and try to use the weopons
If it was done perfectly so that only doom cubes get targeted , yes, but what about people who build borg cubes? or Bombermansams companion cube? too many decent ships would blow up.
