I radar that isn't invincible?

The current one is just way to strong. It can see through anything, see anything, see targets that have been sitting still for minutes. Ambushes are impossible without super skill which I have a freaking manual for. I know I've aske dfor this about 1000 times but we really need a fuctional radar to pull of stealth missions or any kind of covert operation.

A radar that isn't invincible?* Oops.

I think that's coming anyway...I think a1k0n had expressed an interest in it. It would be cool to have a radar that was reflected by asteroid shadow and stuff like that.

Four words; EMP pulse

If we had that it would be perfect, a weapon that can holds 1 ammo thing and uses up 100% of the battery, but it has the blast radius of a nuke. All it does is simply scramble the radar, like makeing it think homers are near, a flock of allies are near, 20 rockets are about to hit you, you are in front of the s15 wormhole, stuff like that. It would be really cool to see in effect =)

RP: Has been at the top of the list of features I want to see for as long as I've been here. It's definately been discussed, the code just doesn't exist yet.

I'd also like to see electronics gizmos soon, like radars with more range, and so forth. If they aren't going to fix the Wraith, at least they could give it extra electronics slots for a ship of its class.

Basically, its a ship that is severely outclassed by another widely available model (the Ragnarok). Considering that the cost of your hull is only a fraction of the cost of the entire equiped vehical, the extra few thousand you save by buying a ship that is much less capable just isn't worth it. No one at all uses the Wraith. I seriously doubt more than a couple have ever been bought.

All that is needed to fix it is to make it medium manueverability and put it more on par with the popular Hornet class.

ok, I can see the logic of that in it :D

Once non-invincible radars are implimented would it be possible to add radar relays? A stationary/constant velocity object that doesn't show up on radar, but extends your radar. This way people setting traps would know when to spring them and if one spot was a common trap people you could check it out without actually going in.

You could probably have a 'radar drone' - a missile that extended your radar range in one direction. Or you might be able to have a radar relay between ships that let you use each others radars.

But its really not reasonable to assume that something that is emmitting something reasonably close to radar is stealthy and doesn't appear on radar.

hmmm good point

I was bored, and this is probably one of my biggest "beefs" with Vendetta. So, I figured I'd bump the oldest thread I could find on the topic.
