Message: <blockquote data-quote="gamerprinter" data-source="post: 7213650" data-attributes="member: 50895">While I appreciate the XP, I'm starting to think that there's a lot of custom rules, besides Mecha, that I'll be putting into my homegame and eventually publishing.For example, as I was trying to learn the Starship Building rules, I saw the lack of a cloaking device, and needed that for two ships I wanted to build (and built one so far). Here's my Cloaking Shield rules, though I got help from AskaPathfinder (an Australian PF/SF blogger) on the mechanics.Cloaking ShieldBP = Shield BP cost + 10PCU = Shield PC multiplied by the size of the ship (Tiny = 1, Small = 2, Medium = 3, Large = 4 and so on)Effect = So long as the shield is at maximum capacity the starship can activate a cloaking shield which lasts for a number of hours equal to the tier of the ship. While cloaked it increases any DC to locate the starship by +20. In addition the cloaking shield provides a 50% miss chance against attacks made with either Direct Fire or Targeting weapon (an additional 50% BP and PCU cost will defend against both) made against that shield.Should the total SP of the starship drop by 25% the ship becomes partially hidden increasing the DCs by +10 and only providing a 25% miss chance. If the total SP of the starship drops below 50% or if any of the shield arcs goes down completely then the cloaking shield is inactive and will regenerate as the shield would.Note: because under the description of laser weapons in Starfinder, if targets are invisible, lasers can't target them - by Starfinder's logic since lasers are light emitting based weapons, since light passes through invisible targets - they can't get hit.</blockquote>
