Hello,
Let us talk about this idea of cloaking a citadel in space. The only way to find them is if you fly to where they are in space and or scan them down!
-This option would remove the citadel from your overview and menu and d scan. Until you get near it then you will see on your overview long as your in 500 km of the citadel.
It would immediately be nullified by the use of combat probes. Those looking to call on citadels will just start scanning for them and you’ll have added mere minutes to the structure’s longevity.
Awesome. Good idae!
It should take an insane amount of energy to cloak it. It could do nothing else but cloak and have a warmup timer.
Without a public access, the structure does not appear on overview, unless on the gird.
So, placing your structure further than 10,000 km, is almost like cloaking it anyways.
So deep space structures are found using combat probes already. But, what if it lowered the signature such that the structure would require very good skills and ships and modules and implants to be scanned down?
Would a war-dec be allowed to cloak their structure?
This annoys the hell out of me.
I agree!
Of Course! The other corp would have to go looking for it in area. We could add mission agents to help give idea of system it could be and from there looking around for it maybe ?
You can already hide your citadel in space.
If you give no public access to your citadel, it will not show up in the structure browser or when people look at the system info for structures.
If your citadel is not on grid and you have no access, you will not see it on your overview.
If the citadel is not within dscan range, you will not see it on dscan.
While not completely hidden, a private citadel in a system away from any common routes in a position that is not within dscan range of any gates can only be found if someone happens to travel to that system and checks for blue icons in space and warps to them.
While not completely hidden, it’s very hidden.
Good idea. Also it cant be seen from space until 500km and must be scanned with combat probes.
I dont think CCP want add mission agents for that.

What my wife’s toon does best! She can find things and suck the probes in so fast, most players don’t even see them.
