Cloaking Device Vulnerability / Repairs

[Cody]

If it had a tiny bit of cargo space it may have swung it for me towards Asp. My money running down without the trading, repair bills cost more than the passenger contracts can yield.

Parcels! An Asp is perfect for courier work.

I meant parcels of course not passengers !! sorry silly me

after getting to a tech level 15 planet I still wasn't offered a cloaking device so I am at a loss to where it went . I am pretty sure it came across when I traded my cobby for an asp . Maybe I am mistaken & it's non transferrable ?

Maybe I am mistaken & it's non transferrable?

The cloak is definitely transferable, so I don't know what's going on there. Do you run with OXPs installed or not?

The oxps I run are :-
Deep space pirates
Station ads
Communications pack A
Cup of tea
Death comms & display reputation

I am pretty sure I had a cloaking device showing when I got my Aso but it certainly did not last long & doesn’t seem to ve coming back :/

Just checked the last cobra savegame before the transfter & the cloaking device was shown as orange & n/a so maybe a damaged cloak is the issue ?

<nods> That'll be it. If you still have that savegame, revert to it, go get the cloak fixed, then switch to an Asp.

Plus it's very effective against missiles. It makes them lose lock on you and instead of actively chasing you, they just fly in a straight line until they either run out of fuel or you decloak (in which case they resume chasing you).

It seems to me that that is no longer true. Or perhaps I mistook 'missile still shows on scanner' for 'missile is still targetting me.' If this true, it's good news!

It is true. The missile simply flies straight ahead once you cloak. It still exists and is visible normally on the scanner, but it does not track the cloaked ship anymore until either it decloaks or the missile runs out of fuel and self-destructs.

The missile [. . .] does not track the cloaked ship anymore until [. .] it decloaks [. .].

Ah . . So only a temporary reprieve!
