Would be nice to be able to power down your ship to radar with a power down and power up time or recharge. also your shield would be “turned” off as well so you would be super weak to attack while powered down.

thank you cynthum
would be good to hide for a ambush

makes sense too. i have a ship i should be able to turn it off like in mech warrios kind of thing you can sneak attack 
also just plain cool to power down.
plus not op or broken. you see a powerd down ship. 2 hits it pops. it has to power up before even shooting. so as long as a pilot is aware. it can be coutnerd ALSO making spy drones usefull…
shields should be off and YOUR sensors shouldnt pick anyone up either. energy should charge from 0 on power up. modules to counteract all that.
Good concept :good:

this is exactly what i want. all hud off shiled off all that jazz. literally space junk floating till you boot up!
It is a lazy technical solution to a tactical problem. Simplest answer is not to park right in their line of approach. Even with the interceptor’s 4.5 sec cloaking, I’ve found no problems attacking “out of the sun” as it were. The trick is to get high or low enough that you are out of their FOV, not charge straight forward. Get locked on? Cloak for 4.5 sec, rush past the limits of the screen and swoop down on them as they pass by below.
So no. No point and it’s a matter of applying tactics instead of expecting everything handed easy to you.
And I’m going to regret this post. Now people will keep an eye above them, makes it harder for me to ambush. Oh well.
I beleive this is a great idea! I dont need ot repeat what people have said.
Or just use phase mod, or the special skill with a fed. fighter.
Phase mod is the invisibility correct? YOu dont know how many times i had to use that to save myself. Anyways, with power down state, Your invisible from radar indefinitly, you could be hiding in plain sight.
Make it that it takes 2~5 seconds to power down your ship and 2~5 seconds to power up, that’ll make it less abused in a dogfight when somebody is tracking you then you just turn your ship off for a second then back on then off then back on.

exactly and yes i use stealth. the point isnt to “get behind” ill just go empire and warp straight up the point is. “OH c is wide open GO GO GO” rapter powers up from behind rock and goes in lasers beaming. or even just cuz it makes sense to have it as an option.
When you power down, it shouldnt take long. about 2-5 does sound good. but when your powering up. We can have it… power up one system at a time. 
Like first your generators, then engine, then weapons then shields. taking a total about 5-7 seconds. gotta make the powering up alil longer than powering down, in my opinion. I made a seperate post about Power Output Adjustment if anyone wants to check it out. It includes KCIV’s idea.

fantastic post. already drooling
When the engine start up, you might become an unidentified target in grey.

Another reason you wouldn’t want to just power down in the middle of a fight is because of friendly Jericho Torpedo’s exploding near by… Power down, shields go down too, Jericho Frigate torp explodes. ohh…sh… yea… not gonna have a good day with that… lol
But I agree, powering down your ship is a good idea.

Harharhar , will See it coming , in the mid of fighting , pushing the wrong Button … " Systems shutting Down !!!" … Ohhhhhhhhhhhh … xD
Reminds me of battlestar galactica :0
So you want a camping module ?
I quite don’t see the tactical use of that in a dynamic game like star conflict.
