So I was wondering what kinds of abilities the covenant and unsc will have in rebellion? Just thinking about ONI spy networks and covenant monitoring like the little ship tracker that they stuck to Keys' ship. Is there any way of implementing these?

[KillaBC]

There is a way of planting a spy on a ship as an ability and you'll be able to follow that ship until the ship dies and as mentioned in another thread an Oni station could also have a spy planet ability.

That would be very useful.

All we need next is stealth coding for prowlers.

I feel like we've been here before, have we been here before?

I... I'm not sure. I have a vague memory of it, but it's possible we haven't. So how about it, Sloose? Maybe make them phase out or something?

Wow, and the stealth prowler discussion begins anew

Next thing we know, HE shall return and battle the great Unikraken for a few entire seconds with his trolling powers.

Holy shit, we have a He Who Must Not Be Named. More specifically a He Who Cannot Be Named.

lol...

 

 

Ok, so basically, we aren't gonna do prowler stealth cause there's no way to make it really work in the game. It just... won't work properly. Phasing out is one way to do it, but it's not good...

[Unikraken]

Eh, comparing him to Voldemort is way off. More like a wormtongue.

I actually have a way now to do a full cloak.

This.

I think I know how he plans to do it. 

[SPECTRE]

One of the star trek mods, (sacrifice of angels if i remember correctly)

Must be an interesting code.

[Unikraken]

I think I know how he plans to do it. 

I'm sure you do, you were probably on the Skype call when your team told me about it.

 

 

[2:43:44 PM] Unikraken: hey how did you such a perfect cloak on that?

[2:44:18 PM] (Tech): IsInvisible

[2:44:31 PM] Unikraken: is that just a new feature in rebellion?

[2:44:43 PM] (Tech): I suspect so yes

[2:44:45 PM] Unikraken: ah

[2:45:12 PM] (Tech): phaze out wasn't an option as it now automatically disables movement

[2:45:19 PM] Unikraken: ah lame

[2:45:43 PM] Unikraken: I'm curious if that kind of effect can be done to a ship for the duration of phase travel.

[2:46:06 PM] Unikraken: you see, Halo ships jump into an alternate universe kind of thing

[2:46:10 PM] Max: uhm its the boollean turn invisible

[2:46:17 PM] Max: or isinvisible

[2:47:35 PM] (Tech): I think that's possible yes

[2:48:04 PM] (Tech): but changing the relevant shader would affect all phazed space activities

[2:48:21 PM] Unikraken: that would be fine

[2:48:28 PM] Unikraken: all ships jump the same way

[2:48:35 PM] (Tech): so if you have any abilities where ships phaze out, or mines that are out of phaze it'll automatically happen to them

[2:49:28 PM] (Tech): pipeline effects, shader

[2:49:34 PM] (Tech): that's where you can change it

I almost feel foolish asking but does that actually solve the 'A.I. still knows you're there' issue?

If they don't know, we'd need to test it. It's a totally new feature, it may or may not affect AI behavior.
