Cloaking Device

  • OK, so if I'm reading this thread right, once the content exchange system is back online, all I need is to un-mount the 3 pieces in my hold at any base while having at least $125 million available, and the device will self-assemble to my ship? If so, then all it needs is 10 energy crystals per charge in the hold to activate the cloak through FLHook... That is an amazing feature! :love: One important question: will the other license/shield slots be available again after the cloak assembly?

  • Note that you have to hold all 3 items in the cargo hold, unmounted, not 1-2 of them mounted and one in the cargo.

  • As I did not found c l e a r answers in the past threats, I must ask :


    Well, I gathered these "several parts in the deep of DK-space" (Abrasdevil).
    Has anyone of you used them?
    They are dreaming in my cargohold, showing me, that they wanted to be mounted.
    But my ship(Deimos) has only 2 slots being able to mount them.
    I am flying around and nothing shows me, that I am able to cloak or uncloak.
    Is it already a lookout of the next release or a real possibility for FL 1.9?


    P.S.: During the Storyline a fourth docking-place in DK-space offered a cloaking device?
    Did anyone notice that too?

  • As far as i know, cloaking in SP is impossible, because the device is transferred by FL-Hook and cloaking is done wit it too. And FL-Hook only exists on the server. Even if you had a cloak device in Singleplayer it wouldn't help you, because you were invisible all the time, and as far as i know NPCs don't care about whether you are cloaked or uncloaked, they attack you anyways if you are hostile^^

    You better move your backside to the Server Mr. Pirate - we are lacking in experienced Pirates while the Cops went stronger lately (well, they say it this way)!


    pfff testing the cloaking device in SP :thumbdown:

  • Well its loads of fun to play with as long as you stay in the VENN system... 270 million credits gone... seems you can only get energy crystals for it in one single system and good luck getting out of that system without getting destroyed and losing them. It uses 10 energy crystals per activation, only lasts for like 20 seconds, and then makes you wait ten minutes before you can activate it again. Total and absolute waste of time and credits. Only thing it might be usefull on is a battleship. I should have just bought a flippin battleship in the first place... EXPENSIVE learning curve. :thumbdown:

  • Hello ivanamerson760,


    ... cloak offer player tactical advantage, not assure he will be invincible. Sometimes is good ask first about expensive thing as learn hard way by yourself :) (was enough to ask here or little search). And for sure is more systems (except Venn ) where you can get crystals, you need only explore little more.

  • 4 systems

  • To use the cloak you have to type "/cloak" , you also have "/uncloak" but it's useless now as you uncloak before you got time to do that.


    And you can't do that in singleplayer, as you don't have the multiplayer/server's hook, the software that makes it possible, so yeah, you can't no matter you buy the pieces and got 100+ Mill money on you, they won't mount, and won't work.

  • Sorry for the late entry, but since the content exchange system is currently offline, will CF 2.0 bring it back? Just wondering, since I invested many server hours and credits to acquire the whole kit again... :huh:

  • Well, I've got the parts unmounted in a ship with nearly $400M credits, and no assembly. Are there some ships the cloak will not mount to?
