I'm thinking about a vapour shroud variant to simulate a cloaking
device.
The vapour shroud is:
MASS: 5% of ship's MASS
Cost: 3xMASS
When active, owner cannot fire any weapons or launch or recover
fighters.
Attackers treat owning ship as doubly screened.
The cloaking device might be:
MASS: 5% of ship's MASS
Cost: Ship's MASS ?
When active, owner cannot fire any weapons or launch or recover
fighters, or
have other screens active. For fighters or missiles to attack the
owner,
they must be within 2 units at the end of ship movement. For a ship to
target the owner, the ship must successfully scan the ship (roll 5 or 6
on
D6 or get 2 "hits" from a 3D6 "attack" on a doubly screened target
(close to
equivalent)), then treats the target as singly-screened.
