What if fireworks decloaked ships? If you were willing to fit a fireworks launcher and use fireworks to decloak people within the firework’s radius, it would add some small counterplay and fitting choice when hunting these ships.
The cloaked ships would still need to be close to something targetable, and the firework explosion radius isn’t huge.
Right now, gate camps are allowed to strew 200 drones around the incoming stargate and use that to prevent cloaking by incoming ships. Something similar could be achieved with far less trash if the campers could shoot a firework to decloak enemies.
I am usually corrected (often with eyerolls) when I have ideas like this, but it seems marginally promising in my head, so maybe it is worth a little humiliation to find out why this would be terrible
A streamer once pronounced my last name as with a “vine” like a plant and that threw me off since I always pronounced it as a “veen”. Maybe I’ve been mispronouncing my own name wrong all these years… ■■■■ that, I prefer “veen” and I’m sticking with it.
Just to throw something out there, what about “fireworks” that cloak stationary ships in the blast radius. Not sure it is a good idea, but something like that would make the game very different.
