Sirius113: its not 5kt fuel per turn, but we have to change the formular so everyone understands it | Lokis don't help vs adv cloaking device

Kwesy: cloaking device draft

cloaking device draft

New page

Some ships have a built-in cloaking device allowing them to be invisible for enemy races.
The device needs to be switched on by setting the ships mission to "Cloak".

Cloaking burns 5 kt of fuel per turn.

Cloaking has some useful side effects:
* the probability to hit a mine is much lower (just 25% of the normal probability)
* cloaked ships can not be attacked

A cloaking device can fail too. In this case the owner of the ship gets this message:
<pre>We've had a problem in our engine room. Our cloaking device has failed!</pre>

The [[The Empire of Birds]] has two ships with an [[advanced cloaking device]].

=== Counter Strategies ===
Being attacked by ships with a cloaking device can be tough.

There are mainly two more or less effective counter measures:
* lay many minefields where you suspect cloaked enemies (preferably overlapping minefields)
* get in hold of [[Loki Class Destroyer | Lokis]] which will decloak any cloaked ships with in 10 ly around it.
