Will radar shadow be present in the game?asked by Buran
TL;DRRadar shadow will definitely be in, with heat, electromagnetic and reflective signatures, and players will have ways to hide such as using asteroids, shutting down systems or coating the ship.
So yes, the answer is yes, radar shadow will definitely be present in the game. We have all different kinds of radar signatures you can have, whether it's sort of a heat signature, electromagnetic signature, reflective signature. And we're also thinking of different ways that you as a player could shield yourself from someone else detecting you. So there will be an aspect of being able to play sort of a stealth angle. Maybe you can shield yourself behind an asteroid, or maybe you can shut down a bunch of systems so your signature is really small. Or you could coat your ship in a certain kind of armor that would give you a much lower reflective signature. So we'll definitely have radar shadow be part of that. And we're hoping and think it's actually going to add a lot of fun to the gameplay and nuance, because there's just a lot of different options for people to take things in space, and that's kind of part of the thing that we're pretty excited about with what we're doing with Star Citizen.
