Bz doesn't have a jammer, so you are changing things. I thought you was going for as close to original as possible?

Variants and options...

Stock is stock, and Recy variants are whatever...   :)

Besides, I think having such a thing as a "Cloak Jammer" available for Strat variations would be in keeping with the original TRO spirit, especially given that they pulled the cloak out from under you in one of the SP missions...   

I mean, I'd love to even have it play the wav file from that mission and give you a few seconds to sweat before your cloak just quit, but that can be pretty heavy handed and I prefer a lighter touch.     :evil:  There's also the fact that leaving them cloaked but highlighting them and allowing the AI to attack them leaves the cloaked ship without weapons when your AI opens up on them.  I like that, for some reason...

Lol... I picture some newb cruising up to the 'Cloak Jammer' and going "hmmm, I wonder what this thing is?" while the Mongos are all turning in his direction...

The point here is to think outside the box a bit when converting things to the BZ2 engine, since Recy variants and the 1.3 patch give us capabilities we never had in BZ1.   It'd be a crime to waste that capability, and I hope others do cool BZ1-ish things nobody else thought of...

For example I have as another option the ability to give and take a shield from the cloaked unit that does nothing but highlight them in the outward teamfiltered 'spray' from the cloak jammer (which is actually a GT, or arcmine, or or or...)   :)

I like the whole BZ1 style so much I started making up a race from scratch that would fit within the confines of BZC :-P

Coxxon has a Fury race, wish he would respond about it. He floated through here last week.
