I'm not very happy with something i noticed quite a while ago, and dont think anyone else has brought this up.
You find people on the BT, and they show up as their race and profession, shouldnt the smugglers chassis HIDE THAT INFO??
and checking someones legion list tells you what they are as well, why not have it listed as SMUGGLER...
it would add a bit of extra tension to locking bases as well. because everyone locking bases is checking the player list against who's what and which buffs they're going to use to max effect... how about NOT KNOWING THAT INFO!!!!!!! THEY ARE THE ENEMY FFS

If you're part of a legion, you're part of their roster. The only way to stay completely anonymous is to go No Legion.

yes but the smugglers chassis is an arti thats supposed to DISGUISE who you are, and hide your ship from being identified.

Hey! Odds are, people didn't even know about this glitch until reading about it right now. Moreover, ship race/profession knowledge is only important info for limited things.

Well... it depends how you look at it...

It's still a disguise as it hides your visual and "public" information.

its supposed to disguise you from people looking at your ship. it NEEDS TO DO THAT...
how many base battles do you have where your checking the other legions number of fixers and aerlens and lazuli before locking

Anybody who uses their battle tab knows it. (at least in the ranks where people have the Chassis)

It was designed only as visual flavor, it is not intended to be used to truly hide any specific stats in all areas of the game.

thank you for clarifying dan.

would it be possible to change it so it actually DOES hide that info... it would add a bit of tension to the game

new about it, didnt care enough lol

I've read through this thread (Not that it's particularly long) and I actually find myself agreeing with Icarium. Hiding a player's stats will add something to quite a few elements of the game. I'm reluctant to hit Lazuli Fixers and similar defensive builds on my BT out of energy conservation so any Dark Smugglers might make me think twice about just trying to kill them.

With the base I, again, agree. I can go check out Chesterton and see that they have well over a dozen Saboteurs, but I would be clue-less if they were all Dark Smugglers. I know a few people who, when scanning bases, will take the time to inspect the legion roster of enemy legions for things like fixers; something which, again, would be disrupted by Dark Smugglers.

+1 from me

I never bothered with the Dark Smuggler Chassis: I just put a giant pair of these on the front of my ship, and it works just as well...

Ow. What happens when your ship gets a cold? Sneeze cannons- the most devastating weapon ever!

Dude! I think you're pushing it. Just be happy with it as it is or don't use it.

Perhaps a new disguise that actually is a disguise so there is more diversity with the ships.

i just want a meaningful reward for something that ONE needed a TON of energy spent to find (Caelon) and two, took ANOTHER ton of energy to do the mission chain... as it is, its a cosmetic change, that doesnt show up now unless you want it too, and 600 invasion attack.... either up the attack, or make it a TRUE disguise as stated before..

I haven't done the chain yet, but from what I've heard it does give out some really good modules. That not enough?

gives out the dark assembly bots...
but im talking about the smugglers chasis part, its 4K ctp, and a bunch of energy(32K), it should be a substantial increase, not just an after thought.
the one after it gives you the 10% tariff rate.. IF you want to waste 100K getting it...

FFS... First people complain they want more ship designs, then they complain about the ones they do get. There's a couple reasons to leave it as is. (1) At the higher ranks, EVERYONE has a DSC. If everyone was listed everywhere as a Dark Smuggler, it would stagnate high end PvP even further than it is now. Why? Because not many people are going to bother with a high rank ship that quite possibly could be a Lazuli Fixer or Xecti Fixer, therefor they're not going to bother hitting anyone. (2) It's how Dan intended it to work. Whether that is just due to his personal wishes or because of coding, it is what it is. Without knowing how things are coded, problems could arise when your ship gets looked up. Bonuses are applied to your ship during combat based on your true race and profession. That does not change based on what your ship looks like. Those are likely to be two completely separate categories in your ship info.
