Subject: [FT] What would you make this cost ?
I'm thinking about a vapour shroud variant to simulate a cloaking device. The vapour shroud is: MASS: 5% of ship's MASS Cost: 3xMASS When active, owner cannot fire any weapons or launch or recover fighters. Attackers treat owning ship as doubly screened. The cloaking device might be: MASS: 5% of ship's MASS Cost: Ship's MASS? When active, owner cannot fire any weapons or launch or recover fighters, or have other screens active. For fighters or missiles to attack the owner, they must be within 2 units at the end of ship movement. For a ship to target the owner, the ship must successfully scan the ship (roll 5 or 6 on D6 or get 2 "hits" from a 3D6 "attack" on a doubly screened target (close to equivalent)), then treats the target as singly-screened.
