Different phase cloak for non-high tech phase ships, or...
« on: February 14, 2024, 05:10:27 AM »

Before 0.72a, phase cloak has no delay, but no time shift.  It was essentially a variant fortress shields, and phase ships were better at brawling than assassination.

Suggestion:  Have the low-tech or possibly new midline phase ships have something resembling original phase cloak like "Variant Phase Coils" or "Prototype Phase Coils" where they have less cloak delay like Ziggurat (or no delay at all), but speed is still normal, and PPT/CR countdown is still accelerated.

This would be handy for slowpoke brawlers like low-tech phase ships.

As an alternative, a hullmod that does just that for any phase ship (less cloak delay, less mobility, and faster PPT/CR countdown).  It would be mutually exclusive with other phase coils like Adaptive Phase Coils, Phase Anchor, and Ziggurat's built-in coils.
