Summary0001648: Add Low-Power Radar Jamming to Raid Starship
DescriptionI find Raid Starships are pretty useless right now, because they fly onto a planet and get instagibbed so fast I'm not quite sure what's going on. I THINK it's an artillery guardian, laser guardian, or heavy beam guardian doing it, all of which have pretty extreme ranges. However, Raid Starships are also still a nightmare for players, but adding a 7,000 range radar jamming (or something around there) would help with the problem of being long-range instagibbed without making them any worse for players to deal with.

I was going to link 0001412 but that was back in 4.034 and x4000 buffed the raid since then.

Adding radar jamming would be helpful potentially. However I notice you mention low-power in your summary, did you mean weak ie enemies shot from a longer ways away than a 'high' powered radar jammer?

I think by "low power radar jammer" he means a radar jammer that emits a very weak jam.
A 7000 maximum range is beyond the range of most ships, however with a recent change I've seen making sniper turrets able to fire on Raids, this would undo that change.

Low power radar jam is a weak radar jam. I.e. one that won't affect most ships, aside from the most long-ranged ones. Only restricting ship ranges at more than 7000 seemed pretty weak to me, compared to space planes having 3000, for example.

Implemented in 4.047

Awesome. Looks like this one is Resolved or at least Feedback.
(I'll see if I can change it...I cannot.)

Status should probably be changed to resolved (which I can't do).

Seeing as it's now an implemented feature a new report would be a good idea if those who were opposed wished to discuss it further, just to keep mantis reports shorter and more organized in general.

That's what I meant, I was going to change it to "Resolved" but neither you nor I can do that. :P

Yep, I saw yours after I posted. Mantis doesn't warn you of changes to the thread when you're posting like the Forum does apparently.

Pfft. Why would it do THAT? :P
(Also, only some forum software, and only if the admin turns it on--personally, I hate it because 90% of the time my reply is directed at a specific person and someone else posting doesn't change that).

I find it useful in general but I still hate getting ninja'd 3-4 times if I'm writing something longer. (I usually just go with something short in that case which is just as well most of the time)
