| Summary | 0002454: Tip about cloaking | ||||
| Description | Here is a tip of the day idea. In fact, this misunderstanding comes up so often that it may merit a place in the tutorial and/or wiki. Again, feel free to clean up the spelling, wording, and grammar. Unlike many RTSs, cloaking does not hide the existence of a ship, only its location and its identity. Thus, do not be surprised if the AI reacts to one of your cloaked ships on their planet even if they never decloaked it. This works both ways though. Cloaked AI ships will appear in your intel as well, even if you have never decloaked them before. | ||||

EDIT: Fixed a major typo. I originally said "cloaking does not hide the existence of a ship, only its presence and its identity", which was pretty much a self-contradiction. |

Nice! Added: Unlike many RTS games, cloaking does not hide the existence of a ship, only its location and its identity. Thus do not be surprised if the AI reacts to one of your cloaked ships on their planet even if they never decloaked it. This works both ways, though: cloaked AI ships also appear in your intel. |

Yay, I finally got some text into the game :D |

Do you think that the "don't be surprised" figure of speech is too confusing? I have a bad habit of overusing that idiom. |
|
|
I think it's fine in this case. |

Okay, I just reread what I wrote and though that sentence was a little weird. But hey, any alternative I can think of is too wordy, so I guess you're right. |
