The roaring forties... ah yes, I remember them well.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Suddenly I feel rather young. Mid life crisis has just passed.

In the shipdata.plist of the ship you want to have this applied, add the key/value pair:

Code: Select all

cloak_passive = yes;
Easy-peasy.

Hmmm

I guess it's like quiz questions, they are easy when you know the answer!

OK.....I'll have a look at the shipdata.plist and see if I can make sense of where to add it,
