Is it just me, but I thought the thanatos destroyer was suppose to be stealth, like the prowler of sorts, I know I'm a noob to this game, but is there no such thing as stealth and all? Or is there no option in entrenchment to implement a stealth ability for those ships?

It is hard coding that fudges up the stealth thing. You can't make a ship 'stealthed' in SoaSE. Stealth = not visible to the hostile I am assuming. The most you can do is make it invinisible to damage or not attackable both of which would just look weird and ruin emusion.

You would assume correct sir, do you think later versions might be able to? Or is that idea just going to get put in fantasy land for now?

Hard coding for any version of SoaSE makes stealthing ships nigh on impossible. So I would put this in the 'Can't ever happen because it is super duper difficult if possible at all to do' land for now. I am sure this has a thread somewhere or has been discussed and talked about somewhere else, so go forth my child and search this vast collection of knowledge for the answers you seek.

I wonder if an ability can use the coding of the invulnerability ability and use a particle effect that cloaks the ship from players view, hmmm.

Aye Aye sir

Well I am sure that can be done. As I said you should go check another thread or look in suggestions and feedback, this has already been discussed somewhere else or is waiting for you to bring it back into the spotlight. The point there are other places to talk about this that are meant to be used to talk about this.

Valiant class FTW, the Marathon's big brother, love spamming these hardwearing ships, always a first choice cap ship if you want to quickly clear out the surrounding planets start of the game.

The best implementation I've seen is SOA2, which isn't really cloak, more of a invuln with texture buff. Works vs AI, but still targetable by abilities and doesn't work that well vs humans. Maybe in Rebellion II they'll put in a stealth ship (finally) and save all of us many headaches...

So I take rebellion is the latest version of the game? So rebellion two is in the works or something?

[Defender0]

rebellion is the most recent add on, there could be an SoaSE 2 in the making. Nothing confirmed though

[Bornstellaris]

SOASE 2 better have animation support

SOASE 2 better have animation support

They better have stealth ships!

Changing my vote to supercarrier, because its new buff is now in the game, and that thing is a flagship of its own right.

When do lowly plebs get to see this buff?

When do lowly plebs get to see this buff?

hopefully the next patch. odds are it will be included

[CoSSpartan058]

The athens of course because that's my voice on it!

I personally love the Paris class frigate.. I just love the model that the SoTP team has developed for all of the ships but when I think of Halo ships I think of the Halcyon, Charon, and Paris class. I personally feel that the Paris class is an amazing vessel, the shape of the bow and the width between the two main engines, I don't know but it is just eye appealing.
