[1.5] New Stealth in Nebulae broken
Also, I believe you can still target ships that are inside nebulae if you have a targetting ROM installed? That way, you can initiate combat at range even though you couldn't initially see anyone on the radar due to nebula stealth.
It seems ships in nebula get +2 stealth and -4 perception.

Indeed. Stealth needs to take a bit more difference before going from 'invisible outside 1 ls' to 'perfectly detectable anywhere in the system'.

My targeting program could perfectly track any ship through a nebula, but it couldn't select a new target unless I was practically parked through it before activating.

I've had the same experience. Perhaps stealth should have an impact on how far a lock can be maintained.catfighter wrote:My targeting program could perfectly track any ship through a nebula, but it couldn't select a new target unless I was practically parked through it before activating.
This would need to also apply to the AI: currently you can be targeted by a ship that cannot "see" you under some circumstances.JohnBWatson wrote:I've had the same experience.

Mischievous local moderator. She/Her pronouns.
Yeah, this made an escort mission horrendous because the only range at which I could see the Sandstorm Gunships was when they were pretty much on top of the freighters I was guarding. It breaks anything where you need to protect a ship and it decides to fly through a nebula.

The same for primordial gas clouds. I would have lost my Korolov freighter (either literally or to the pirates) if it weren't for the map icon and a repeating weapon.JimB wrote:It breaks anything where you need to protect a ship and it decides to fly through a nebula.
