Wow, think of the advantages in recon missions.

Shivan commander: There have been many rumors about the appearance of another sentient species. These are rumors, nothing more. There will be no more talk about phantom ships.

It's a really cool idea though. Ah, the possibilities! Think about what "Into the Lion's Den" would be like if you could be cloaked...;7
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".

Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

...half as fun?

Really, it'd suck to shoot at stuff if it didn't generally shoot back. I mean, if all you want is to kill defenseless things, go hunting, so long as you don't step on one of my land mines it's just the same with added realism.

Well then imagine if the enemy was cloaked and all you had to target was the engine glows...

You would have an invincible target I think. As far as I know you can't hit invisible textures. (Unless you ram it.)

The best use for that really would probably not to make it a stealth vessel in the sense of the Pegasus and Ptah, leave out the 'stealth' tag in the ships table and click the stealth tag in the FRED for the ship.  That was you won't be able to see the ship or actively target it, but the you will still be able to see a sensor 'ghost'.  It would be a way to explain the thrust glows anyway, that rader can't track the ship but can pic up the engine trail and just can't decide what it is.

I bet just one space superiority ship would be able to take on a pretty decent fleet with that cloaking device.

Wonder why the Shivan's didn't have any....
I finally destoryed the Shivan armada and all I got was this lousy T shirt.

reminds me of that TIE ship from the Rebel Assault 2: The Phantom something.... Now just give it ludicrously overpowered weapons and you'll have a perfectly unrealistic ship!
