Summary0002751: SC Penetrators Can Recieve Cloaking Boost
DescriptionExcept they're perma-cloaked unless they've fired, in which case they can't be cloaked. So....don't they need an immunity to cloak boosting?

Spirecraft Penetrator balance:

    * Mark I moved from pysite to xampite. Mark II moved to ebonite, and now produce two per asteroid. All the other marks not moved around.
    * Penetrator health reduced 8x.
    * Penetrator perma-cloaking replaced with normal cloaking (which means that this might actually now be handy).

AHHH! I don't want their perma-cloak removed! With the reduced hitpoints they're now at the mercy of tachyon guardians!

I just thought it was odd behavior, not something that needed a mechanical fix.

Don't worry, it wasn't your suggestion, if that helps -- from a different thread. :)

Read http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,8469.msg74958.html#msg74958 for my response to this change.

Yes, it still is a big nerf, but not to the point of uselessness. And tachyon guardians are pretty easy to kill, if you are willing to spend a little extra time.

I did suggest a little later on that if they do not have it already, they should have a higher than average speed (but not all the way to transport speed levels, that would be silly)

EDIT: Link fixed

I'd have to play it to see how I like it, but I dunno.

Yeah, we'll see. I'm not sold that this will be permanent, if it's any consolation. But I thought the guy had a good idea, and thought it was worth trying out. If that aspect doesn't work, then the perma-cloaking can come back and we can change something else.
