Well, as the title states, it would be a cloaking device, but just a remake of the one we have now.

All i wish is, the cloaking device picture to be the same as in game animation. The whole, lightning slowly going over the ship cloaking it / decloaking it.

i am trying to think of an example, maybe like the delorian? if anyone has a picture of what i am trying to put across please say.

I think adding this in with the new black ops patch would be a great feature and one that would make people shiver a little everytime they hit that cloak button

short and sweet post. like it, get it noticed, CCP do it maaan

The art guys should love this. It could be featured in a new video they love.

Agreed with op. +1.

I hesistated looking at this thread for fear of NERF AFK CLOAKING thread#139814609814605198234690518346.

A lightning wave that sweeps over the ship would look awesome...needs crackling sound effects too, you know, for those that believe Eve has sound.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

It sounds vaguely as though OP wants a variation of the old pre-Apocrypha gatejump graphic, with some added effects for fanciness. Does anyone remember that?

Thread should be named "New Cloaking device animation/visual effect".

Personally, I like the way it is. It's more discreet. Lighting or electricity flashing over your ship would draw attention to the vessel, and potentially put it at greater risk.

Yea thought the same thing. That did look good IIRC.

Eve had quite a lot of different cloaking animations and sounds.
One being the loud sound and the cloak either building up each polygon or the "moving cloaking wall" that covers your ship up.

Would be great to see some vicious effects on cloaking ;D. Nothing wrong with moar eye candy.

Using tablet, typoes are common and I'm not going to fix them all.

Yeah, the cloaking effects could be improved a lot.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

This is exactly what they have in DUST for the cloaky supply ships, it looks pretty cool and would be nice to also see in EVE.
