We need to test this out

WTF??!! How that work??
I mean is only on the Carrak or on any other ship? How close you need to get to have the ship glue togheter (and how log di you need ot press on the them...)?

Does it work on the Reclaimer?becouse if it does we can cover a recalimer with Auroras and Pisces ad have an actual invasion force ....

I recall CIG saying they planned this feature--something like a "auto fleet formation" function. Everyone flies together at the speed of the slowest ship. Maybe this is the first seen of it and it's not in game yet?

I always wonder whether if when a large ship opens a Q jump, if close escorts in formation use the same tunnel, so enable slower ships to hop through faster jumps. That would be very cool.

Bah, I want to know when we get ship cloaking or signature reducing tech that can create fields or bubbles, imagine the traps you could set with that cloaking/stealth/sig reduction tech.

There's no "cloak" tech coming. Stealth works by reducing ElectroMagnetic (EM), InfraRed (IR) and Radar Cross Section (RCS) signatures, same as in real life.

There is already lots of sig reducing tech in game. In general, ships normally detect other ships primarily through EM sig. Hence why you can buy low EM sig "stealth" components. IR (heat) is reduced with coolers, but they have an EM sig. CRS is reduced by special stealth coatings that right now only come on stealthy ships, like the Ghost, Sabre, Eclipse, and Sentinel.

Totally, I know there is no "cloak" system per say but the idea of cloaking or changing your signal is what I am talking about, not just reducing your EM or IR signature but making it look like a different ship or being able to create a field or bubble that hides multiple ships etc...

I don't know about physically hiding a ship but I don't see why something like changing your transponder or something couldn't be implemented so you look like a different type of ship on radar until the other guy actually gets up close and eyeballs you.
