so basically kluth will go back to the old cloak ( with some exceptions) and become what they were before..hit and run (or hide if energy allows)
What concerns me is armor using power to stay "alive" i guess we will have to wait and see how kluth is going to work with more power hungry elements sapping what little juice they already have....
Dictor ships will also concern me as we will have to rely on cloak more then hit and run but i guess i can adopt a few old kluth tactics...(sneak near, alpha strike, curse the energy use and plead to the gods to hurry up the enrgy recharge before i die and hopefully cloak before that happens) lol

Kluth components in general have low energy costs, though, so the addition of armor upkeep drain is not going to break the bank, so to speak.
At least, that's the theory, and it looks good on paper. Its impossible to predict what will actually happen, but we're prepared to tweak a lot in beta, as its quite possible our paper plans will in no way mirror reality.

About fighters.....it looks to much of good to set up 3 types of fighters, just set up one type but good working and it will be great.
Another point.....i would like to see missions to come back, now its very booring to stay online when nobody is fighting, you schould setup separated server for missions only so players will be able to spend time waiting for battle playing on mission server....think about gaifen hunting, defending planets from entitys, capping transports or play battles on coop basis an kind of secondary, small metaverse but without factions hostility, just come in and play whatever faction you want.
And last point..... that would be great to change manual targeting a little, so you can switch between normal mouse pointer and target mouse pointer so we will be able to fire at the point where mouse point is and not to the point where we Ctrl+mouse klick. Its just becouse manual targeting doesnt work properly, when enemy ship moving very fast, you fire when ship already gone from the targeted spot....

About that, the two solutions for it are 1) Target ahead of the ship and 2) Move the cursor after hitting the spacebar, it will track (beams will, as will the continued fire from cannons - not sure about torps/missiles).
