Ok, we have finished with the changes to the Max Cloak Device. It required creating a new global function and modifying quite a bit of game code.
The great thing about change is how much it broadens the use of ship devices.
Any ship tech level can now be modified by a device. Here are some of the things this change now supports.
A Defensive Shield Device that's a single use device. It would boost a ships shields to 600 and give maximum energy for a single attack.
A Defensive Beam Device where you have massive beams for one time when being attacked.
Or something even more evil, a Shield Disrupter. It would disrupt an enemy players shields to a lower level.
There are many possibilities. We will be using some of these new device ideas to develop Research & Build. So we might just have R&B sooner than people think.
The changes have been uploaded to the Main Game and if there are no problems for 24 hours we will release this version for people to download.
