PvP Anti ganking module suggestion/idea

[ATinyFurryRodent]

Hi,
I have an idea which might prove interesting for anti ganking.

FDev could create a new module which fits into a utility slot. The module would create a 'cloaking' field around a ship of a particular size depending on the ship in question; small medium or large. It would present the ship as a ship of the user's choice until hard points are deployed. e.g. if you are a corvette you could be a conda. to add mystery you could name plate yourself as 'explorer' or similar name. You could specify the paint job of the cloaked ship also, perhaps.

This could add the element of surprise to a ganker and a little bit of joy to a bounty hunter; a different style of play in that you'd be waiting to be interdicted.

Just an idea.

So to prevent ganking you would add another tool to their inventory that would allow them to fish for prey?

A genuine pirate takes on a type 9, only to discover that it is a vette or fully loaded annie hiding under the cloak...

Or the newbie that takes on what he thinks is a similarly rated ship in what he thinks is a genuine PVP only to find out that he's up against a fully engineered warship.

I see your point, but it is a massive double edged sword.

if they are to work "hard" like the new t-10, let them do nothing better, anyway the idea is bad

I developed that kind tutorial for everyone:

Its based on Krav Maga rules. Krav Maga is helping in RL, that tutorial is helping in Elite Dangerous OPEN mode.

Nothing more is needed, than using a brain - the best anti gank module ever It helped me many times, both in RL and many virtual worlds [heart]

i am more for an anti-carebear module. I am sure it will be the most sold module making the game way better and less toxic.

I would love a module like this! We could get a full PvP wing together and disguise ourselves as PvE bounty hunters or sidewinders. This would make ganking 100x easier to do and harder to avoid.

Shield Generator
Shield Cell Bank
Hull Reinforcement
Module Reinforcement
Chaff
Heat Sinks
Point Defense
ECM
Shield Booster

My most useful anti gank module is the g5 Cranium On Ball bearings unit.

Took a few rolls to get a decent result on that one I guess.
