All it needs is to use the damage adjustment chart, and it will suddenly work a lot better.

KF,

A true Klingon never uses a cloak...even when flying them pink-ish Rom things they call a ship.

On a serious note: I think you and many fans of the Romulan way will find the cloak "very effective" now. In some aspects, and in my humble opine, I think the implementation of the cloak now will add a dimension to combat that SFC/EAW/OP Romulan player only dreamt about in the past.

Best,
Jerry

Since the cat's out of the bag for cloak, I would like to say this before naysayers and doubters say anything about the cloak: it has been implemented to the closest of SFB specs as possible without changing the inner engine involved. However, it is still being tweaked due to discovered bugs.

In otherwords, the cloaking ships' BPVs will be a lot more accurate, and the cloak itself is a lot better. It's definitely not impossible to beat, but it does do its job well.

IE, it works like a SFB cloak is supposed to work; that could be the dictionary definition of the SFB cloak.

Hope the LWX arc bug has been squashed and (dare I say to hope) correct gat arcs have then been added to hydran dreads with this bug fixed.

It's David's patch.

There is a tale of LBJ and his party crossing the tarmac at a large USAF base in S. Vietnam. As he pauses and gazes at all the aircraft lined up a young air force aide says to him "Mr President, your helicopter is over here". His response was (remembering which state LBJ was from, so that you get the accent right), "No son, they are all my aircraft".

Hearing that the cloak, or any system for that matter, is being tweaked to be *as close as possible to SFB spec* is the best news that I could hear, personally

Please, what ever you do, do NOT patch the rear ISC plasmas like you did in EAW. You only get one shot in the entire scenairio.

jdmckinney · « **Reply #350 on:** July 07, 2003, 10:40:13 am »

The real shame is that the ISC rear plasma will probably never work exactly the way intended. As such, they get some bloated BPVs for a weapon that many of the captains don't even charge that often due to their power curves.

Wow! Great news about the cloak (and everything else!)!

I think this will really add a whole new facet to SFC, [re]intoducing cloak and anti-cloak tactics, as opposed to now, where it goes absolutely unused!
It would be great to play [as close as possible to] SFB standard cloak!

Thanks, Dave Ferrell! And thank you, beta testers.

In terms of when to release it, I have NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER with the "when it's done" response. That's just about the ONLY right answer anyhow. God only knows if we'll EVER get another patch after this one, so for Pete's sake, take your time and test the living crap out of this patch before release! (but don't resent me/us too much for agonizing over the delay like kids waiting for XMas so they can open the presents...)!

Thanks, again!

Great news about the cloak, that!

Looking forward to the patch - but definitely willing to wait until Taldren is ready to release it.

The more bugs they have time to squash, the better.

TheSatyr · « **Reply #353 on:** July 07, 2003, 03:12:39 pm »

There is no rush with this patch so we are all taking our time and making sure we are all happy with it before tossing it out the door.(We all have a can of Raid handy).

KHHJakle · « **Reply #355 on:** July 07, 2003, 05:55:49 pm »

I am an infrequent visitor to these forums, so bear with me if this is an established fact:

Will there be any further EAW patches to incorporate some if the additions to OP, namely the work on the Rom cloak?

Thanks
