    I did a quick search and didn't see anything about this really, so I wanted to post and ask myself.

    I don't know much about keeping balance and all that, but since there are radars and advanced radars, tactically speaking, wouldn't it make sense to have some sort of radar jammer or cloaking device? Here's just a couple ideas..

    1. Could be a non-mobile unit used at your HQ. would have limited coverage, but would hide from enemy's radar. Could be T1 to allow you to build your HQ hidden for as long as possible. Probably by T2, it wouldn't be effective though.

    2. Could be a mobile unit in order to cloak a flanking group of ground units. Would have limited coverage, but would hide from enemy's radar. Could be T2 and take longer to fabricate. This is more of the tactical side I was thinking about.

    I think something like this COULD be implemented and used, but again I don't know how this would affect the balance factor. Your thoughts?

    ** Forgive me if something like this has been covered in Uber's video updates.. I don't have much time to watch all those, so I wouldn't know if they already have. **

    I would imagine it will be added eventually since the predecessors of this game had them

    Ahh ok.. well that would be something I wouldn't have known as this is my first RTS. Good to know though.

    The more you know....

    There is an orbital jammer already.... called the avenger!!!! ;) I must input however I don't think surface jammers should be effective vs orbital sat.

    Avengers are the orbital fighters, they are visible on every simple T1 radar... So no jammers.

    Yes I know good sir what they are..... they also eliminate orbiting sats!!! So not technically jamming the radar but eliminating it..... same diff

    I really liked the radar jamming/ cloaking in Total Annihilation and Supreme commander, and would like to see it in this game too.
