can i turn off my ship

They change as you get close, because they turn into true 3d objects from the simple sprites (billboards?) that they are when seen from further away. So as you get close, the asteriods change. Don't know why they didn't make the 3d asteroids go where the 2d ones were!?

Other ships don't see you if you're behind an asteroid? Never knew that

Ah that trick worked great in Jumpgate - hiding behind roits waiting for someone to pass you, and then jump out and bust a cap in their ass (Sorry)

well if your hidin behind a roid and your discussing retreat and or battletactics w. your squad...(yes i know...) then you could be picked off since radio waves don'tneed a medium to travel...but then thermal and etc...would give you away...btw i like sound effects!!! so 100% real doesn't work in space for me

too bad, i wanted to turnoff or cloak, while a buddy is mining as bait, and some raiding party comes by...and the party begins.

so is there cloaking, or reducing the EM of my ship?

Nope... no cloaking and no reducing of EM. Run or gun... that's all there is.
