Camouflage ! And this is what you can do with it, you can hide an entire squadron right under the enemies nose ! And if they just fly over it there never going to see it ! They would have to be on foot and walk right into it ! Oh those PvP servers are gunna love this ! Check it out.
I have alredy think about that, since i have see the announcement of new color block, and i searching for have a light vessel with two block of height (wings) for have blue camo bellow and green / dark /brown on top. After i saw that we can use on block with multiple colors The effect is good ! Thanks
Unfortunately the pathfinding of drones hasnt been looked at yet for the lack of time to do it. So yes for now they still cheat and just drive straight to it. The game does need a pretty dynamic AI, I really hope they master the AI in this game and give modders an API that allows for tactic's and pathfinding changes in the AI.
This Camo idea + Incoming Alpha Change of non-ally Vehicles no longer showing up on the Minimap permanently for no reason at all is gonna make stealth a possible thing & it's bound to revolutionize PvP. Speakin of Stealth, I see all those juicy vulnerable parts exposed on the back of those Ships... I wanna sneak up on those Ships & surprise blow them up so much! > : D
You didnt watch it all ! To say that you must have cut the video short, because it shows you what your not seeing, and what your not seeing is the whole squadran of fighters in those trees right there and if you watch it, during the video I highlight where they are so you can see they are really there, but the fact you cant see them at all brings a giggle to my lips.
Careful now, there might be a HV among them waiting for prowlers that think they can damage my stuff, to blend yo butt into paste as you approach them ...hehehe
It was hard to express the silliness in my post I was jesting, as in ... "I dont see it" ... meaning ... the camo is doing its job! Get it? See? Eh? Hehehehe.
I guess my humor can be lost in text sometimes. Maybe I shoulda put that winky face on the original post... but I like to make people guess if I'm being serious, or completely silly.
Not trying to rain on your party piddlefoot but...Camouflage and Gunpowder both still being used in the 24th Century? So what do you do? Have a different ship for different planets. Omicron desert. Akua vegetation etc.. do you have it in Lava. How about Stealth oh right the devs haven't invented yet haha.
In SP, I leave a HV on each Planet, having a SV for each Planet doesn't seem too farfetched in MP now Post-Alpha. Alpha is introducing some element of Stealth... non-friendly Vehicles no longer show up as a Marker a massive distance away... seems like possible Stealth to me. In the future who knows? Might even see Cloaking Devices intro'd that could hide Vehicles from Visual & Marker Sight further someday, (Most likely at significant power drain cost while active.) but for now, since your PvP Foes won't see your SVs Marker on their HUD from 700+ Meters away automatically anymore, shenanigans like tailing a foe then getting behind them & Alpha Striking them might become feasible now. IMHO PvP's bound to get funner! I see no reason why Camo would go obsolete in the future... unlike Cloak, it would consume 0 Power thus making it real cheap usefulness for the Resource Cost. Once we see more Implementations of stuff like Mining Drills, specialized Vehicles for specialized uses are likely to become more the norm in the future on that merit alone, let alone Vehicles for each Planet customized to that Planet. (Even as is there's Scout Ships vs Fighter Ships, for example.) Someday, the Sci-Fi Weapons, like Plasma, Ion, Laser, & such might get more love & develop into better late game Weapons while the current Magnesium Stuffs stay the same thus further differentiating the 2 & making the Sci-Fi stuff the clearly superior while also adding more meaning to the Leveling up later down the Development Road.
Have you seen any movie that takes place in the future that uses camouflage? Not I and I try to watch them all. Unless it's the new Startrek or Star Warwars movies. Not into them.
Alien, Aliens, Alien Resurection, et al. Star ship troopers (landing to desert planet, desert camo) The king of personal camo... except when Arnold is around. Just a few examples.
