Cloaking? Yes, no, maybe so?

  1. Yes, I love the idea

    35.9%
  2. No, I don't really like this idea, stop

    20.5%
  3. Maybe so, once they have balanced out, optimized and worked on the core game a bit more.

    That was what I understood it as but wanted to make my view on the topic clear enough :p

    The current radar satellites would work as a neat counter against stealth as was stated earlier in this thread. Would like to see a substantial energy drain on said tech though if it is a unit with area stealth. It might have been mentioned already but would the stealth apply to buildings as well?

    You can have a unit cloak or stealth itself, you cannot have it cloak an stealth other units nearby.

    More than likely yes, if the engine allows for it

    Cloaking, as in, cloaking yourself from sight and not radar?

    It won't be especially useful unlike in TA where units don't auto target radar targets, or in SupCom where the Cybran have abundant stealth.

    Also, some players find it very annoying in a game of this scale to have things that can be completely invisible, especially when many player struggle to scout things that have no counter intelligence devices.
