ECM Fields and scanner invisible ships
-
hey peeps.
in some of the plans for my mod i have certain ships with the ability to hide from radar detection.
and another with the ability to jam the sensors of any hostile ship within its area of effect, similar to how it works with nebula when it says “sensor efficiency reduced”
im firstly not sure that it would be able to distinguish between hostile and not hostile, so maybe id have to find another way of defining what gets jammed and what doesnt, but id like to know if anyone has successfully done this.
Ive seen two threads on the subject from some years ago so i didnt want to bump them as things may have come further now.
so to summarise.
Is scanner invisibility possible.
is area scanner ECM possible.
-
only way I can think of this being possible is via hooking.
Now, I toyed with the idea a while ago of using an essentially broken cloak to create sensor stealthed ships - IE, break the effect so that it doesnt go invisible, but still removes it from sensors. It’s doable, but obviously subject to abuse.
