Moonshadow Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah, I know they've been asking in private. I've given out at least a dozen anz's and tech paths over the last three weeks. And that's been my point all along. If new players want info, it's easily obtained just by befriending and asking a veteran player. So I don't think there are many new players lacking for information. And there is another reason new players ask in private -- they want to keep any advantage over other new players in their area also. That's why you havn't seen one new player ask for an anz to be posted in this thread. They want to get the info but they don't want their enemies (or potential enemies) to get the info also. And I'm glad to see that you've gained your senses and now realize that asking for and giving out info publicly can have the side effect of letting those around you clue in to what you are researching or might be lacking. This was also one of my initial points and I'm glad to see that you now agree with me You really must be one of those loser old timers to be so upset. Hit a nerve did I?

General Miles Avatar Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Any ideas on what Mk IV Phase Convertors are for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwayman Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 i heard they were the lead to cloaking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breoghan Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I was under the vague impression cloaking was one of those as yet non-functioning techs. Any updated info on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxer Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Surely they are for converting your phases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwayman Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 i heard cloaking would not be introduced into this game..... i believe i read it on these forums somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagritz Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 cloaking tech is no longer applicable for ships, it now provides a installation which can hide a colony from system probe scans, if I understand correctly potentially they may hide colonies from orbs etc if you achieve a higher cloaking tech though from my experience I have only seen them hide colonies from probes Planetary Field Distorter Planetary Field Distorters are massive holographic generators designed to confuse the sensor systems of enemy scouts. They provide extremely good protection from enemy sensor systems by masking the true location of key targets on the planetary surface. Cloaking Device tech advancement dictates the strength of the holographic projection. At the lowest level, alien System Probes can be misled; at the highest, even orbiting aliens might see nothing. Though the distortion screen is not perfect, it is very, very close. Cost: 5,000,000 Advanced Construction Materials Installation Consumes: <nothing> Prerequisite: Type A Cloaking Device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still all it takes is a GEO order to determine if there is decent colony or HW on the planet. Who doesn't ICE or use Deep Core Surveyors these days? Still nada on those Phase Convertors though...

Im not that high in the cloaking tech specs so that will be why. If you don't mind me asking what letter does cloaking tech go up to? I know theres an A and a B :} Im not sure on phase converts, the ANZ for level 1 is below: Mk I Phase Converter Phase Converters shift objects out of phase with their current reality, and then attempt to return them intact. This is a dicey propostion that often fails, leaving portions of the item in each reality. Mk I Phase Converter technology is a horizon advance, possibly opening up more interesting other technologies or refined versions of itself. Classification: Horizon Technology Prerequisite: Light Phase Shaker The ANZ suggests it has something to do with gate technology but it turns out to have nothing to do with that! possibly it was a dead end line introduced to make gate technologly that much harder to get or maybe when combined with something else.... in conclusion though I have no idea!

Jemanari Public Relations Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I seem to remember someone mentioning phase converters having something to do with total conversion engines, but I could be mistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have reached Type C Cloaking device. I had thought there might be a Type D but our scientists assure us there isn't one. phase convertors dont seem to do lead to anything in conjunction with total conversion engines. perhaps jump drives hmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurassier Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 So far phase converters are as useful as advanced plantfood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Deependra Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Advanced Plantfood + Phase Converters = Advanced Phasing Plants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
