soft jamming

[artillarmech]

so currently combat is oriented to getting to the core as fast as possible, which is kinda boring. so I come up with... *drum roll* soft jammers! these are blocks which have the exact same signature as the core, making it possible to confuse enemies by forcing them to chance shoot at the blocks instead of the all-important core.

strategic decoys, I like it.

i like this idea. OR maybe a block like a jammer with a lot less energy drain that reduces the detection of the core by 50% distance so it doesn\'t show up on navigation until 50% of the distance it normally would?

 

[artillarmech]

or maybe it \"moves\" the marker inside the ship, making it impossible to tell where the core is

C\'mon guys, lets get this to schema!!

\"Soft Jamming\" was also the title of one of the more regretable films I starred in.

 

[artillarmech]

please tell me that wasnt a porno or anything

 

[MisterVec]

I won\'t.

 

[FlyingDebris]

Regrettable film.

Still, I like this idea. I haaaaaaate having some troll in a fighter take out my supercapital when I\'m offline.

I love the Idea actually It can be done by docking a single core inside your ship but I dont think it works with the newest update so we need this stuff.

It is very annoying that every ship gets instantly destroyed because the cores are so obvious.

 

[JTJSniperBee]

for now just protect the core with at least 30+ hardended armor layers

 

[artillarmech]

that doesnt help, a good AMC setup can tear through that in about 5 seconds

How about the marker for the ship is located in the center of the ships occupied dimensions. This would make the core easy to hide.

But I like the idea of different levels of jamming. Could be implemented well.

I have simple 4-block (Core,Generator,AI,Thruster) ships docked onto my main ship and rename them using a faction block and removing them.

Whenever I begin fighting against something dangerous, I release all of them, flooding the enemy\'s screen with a bunch of nav arrows.

 

[artillarmech]

that works fairly well but I just use mini-fighters with my carrier, releasing dozens of them, although the enemy just locks onto my core, and BOOM
