did you ever see a ship unclock in-game? Cloaking/uncloaking is done through cut-scenes.

---

those cut-scenes are rendered with the game engine, using (as you call it) game mechanics.

There are plenty of effects that can be rendered, but the rest of the mechanics aren't actually there. Such as ships that don't show on radar but are visible, or ships that aren't visible and aren't on radar, but can uncloak at will. If cloaking was fully implemented you would expect to see more use of it during combat, and expect the player to get a taste of it at least once

The general gist from the editing forums is that a cloaking device is possible, but cloaking uncloaking is not.

i.e. you can equip a cloaking device at base and become cloaked but you cant unequip it till you get to another base. Tho there are people on the case to investifate the games own cloaking mechanisms, some1 will crack it in the end One possibility is to hack it so that equiping/unequiping is possible in space.
