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

Well the AI will ignore you if you're phased out, so basically yes. My worry was always that humans could still see you, which they still can, but not physically, just the icon.

This makes the AI ignore you just like phasing out does?

I'm assuming it's however the mod developers for Star Trek Armada 3 did it. I have no idea how it works, but see: https://www.youtube....TxhWjc8Owg#t=12

 

Looks pretty awesome.

You are phasing out, it just changes the phase out effect to a better looking form.

I thought it was a different effect from phasing out that just happens to affect the appearance of the unit in a similar way. I thought you said that phasing out make the affected unit immobile?

Maybe I'm wrong. I dunno now.

Just checked the convo you pasted and they say they are different. If they don't know how it affects the AI, we'll just have to test it.

Icon stays so players can see it.

 

What the buff "IsInvisable" does is make the mesh disappear so you can replace it with a particle effect or lack of. That's all it does. It doesn't make you invulnerable or phase out.

 

In Vanilla it whats changes the Eradica Titan to the shiny blue glow when it dies with its ultimate Unyielding WIll.

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

I was going to make a nerdy corrective comment changing that to "Wormtail", but that name actually works fairly well for him.

So it's not much use, then. PhasedOut makes ships still follow the ship using in question, and this doesn't nothing but hide the mesh. I was really hoping for something that would make it untargetable.

It could have a ability like in vannila sins where the envoy has this transmisson of peace or what ever its called, humans could see it but it could not be attacked. Maybe this like other thing already said, but i thought i would bring it up being how effective it is. Just thought it would match the prowler being the limitations.
