Cloak



A cloaking Utility allows a ship to turn completely invisible for the enemy. The cloak needs some energy to activate and then continuously consumes energy while active, whereas more is needed while moving. However, the ship will still also regenerate energy, allowing it refill its energy while cloaked by remaining stationary, due to the very low base upkeep cost.

The cloak can be turned off by activating the ability again or performing any action other than moving. This includes attacking or using Utilities, such as the Ghosts Ambush ability. Once turned off, a cooldown starts, during which the usually fragile stealth vessel is exposed to the prying eyes of the enemy. Additionally, the cloak can be momentarily disrupted by attacking a cloaked vessel or shut down for a few seconds by detect abilities.
