Radar Jammerly Challanged

[XB-7]

So I watched a bunch of videos about setting up the Radar Jammer. The wiki was really helpful with the equations and the proper way to setup enough power, that I am able to run the Radar Jammer non-stop.

Interestingly enough, I thought this Radar Jammer was also suppose to jam other ships in the area? Just as soon as I changed sectors, my radar is flooded with pirates way over 2000 away, and they are all bailing towards me. I checked my Radar Jammer, it's still on and appears green with plenty of power. I wonder if I bought a defective model? :D

In order to avoid detection by NPC vessels, eg pirates, you must have a cloak module active as well as your radar jammer. The radar jammer is mainly of use in PvP, because players do not have the ability to sense objects in space, and rely on the diamond markers to locate a target.

AI enemies, however, do have some kind of 6th sense pertaining to the location of things to shoot, so for some reason a cloak is required to avoid pirates hunting you down. As far as I know, against NPCs, stealth is all or nothing - either you are running both modules simultaneously, and they cannot detect you, or you are only running one (or even none) and they can.

The radar jammer only makes it so your ship does\'t have that diamond at the core. It is best used with a cloaking system to hide yourself completetly.

So I played with the numbers until I could figure that 4 x 33 chained power reactors outputing 33,472 e/s. That gives me 89 squares to build with including my core with both Cloak and Jammer working infinately.

So I put together my science lab... not very cozy - just the essentials.



Unfortunately, it\'s a little top heavy. :P I placed a landing camera to help during planetary expeditions.



.... so... serious? All that to keep my science projects under wraps... eh? I wonder if I could cloak a planet. :D



Well in any case. After landing successfully on the planet, I didn\'t have enough thrusters on board to take off.

To avoid detection from pirates all you need is cloak.

Radar Jammer is for PvP.

 

[Winterhome]

Jammer also works on turrets, I think.

 

[zorozeenee]

for ai all you need to do is cloak, radar jamming wont do anything

 

[Unnamed25]

You can use jammers to not get shot by enemy AI turrets

 

[MrNature72]

If you cloak a planet... jesus.
