Blackace Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 So the other day I saw in New Players chat that enemies didn't cloak, well, then I ran into this guy today: https://gyazo.com/95b197a051f0f2b0f3f74fdfbd1b4cf4 That is a CL24 Zenshai Escort around Vishao's Plight that engaged on me while cloaked and fired on me while having the cloaked graphic going for him. I'm not sure if I ran into a bug or if he's supposed to do that, since I don't remember from Live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti [GM] Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Hi Blackace, Yes this and several other mobs in the game have cloak/combat cloak abilities.....what ever a player can do on an avatar expect some mobs to be able to do as well! ? All the best, Yeti[GM] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Another possibility is that you have not ramped up the graphical options within the game, so it will limit what is being rendered in favour of better performance. This seems that it might be the case here looking at the background objects from your picture. Within the game at the top click on options > graphics. From here just uncheck the one box, and slide all sliders to the right apart from gamma. Although this was useful way back when the game was new, with today's hardware nobody should need to run the game on lower than max settings ?. -FFT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti [GM] Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Actually Oakman your wrong in this case the mob has cloak/combat cloak skills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 The mob may very well have those skills, in fact I'm sure those ones do thinking about it more. However the reason I mentioned graphics quality is that it can create pop in effects at times with the mobs yet targeting is still possible. Something seems a bit fishy here though still as even if the mob can cloak, the picture indicates an acquired target from the player, damage being inflicted but still no visual model. This could be answered by them having see cloak buff, but even with this shouldn't the ship be visible at this point? Another interesting question would be are there any instances where the mobs can actually fire from cloak whilst remaining cloaked? ? Either way, by now I'm sure this ship in question is long dead ? -FFT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti [GM] Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Not as far as I know, they are listed as having combat cloak is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackace Posted January 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Oh, that ship is very much dead. That said though, I have a Zenshai Nav computer installed, enabling the spotting of cloaked ships, on top of scan at rank 3 right now which also enables piercing cloaks. I was just wondering if someone was spreading incorrect information in New Player chat the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
