Feature Overview
Works in space only — not available on planets- Protects private and faction ships
- Nearby faction ships (within 200m) will also be stealthed
Bases are not supported- Requires no enemies within 2000m to activate
- Cannot stealth if you’re “Guilty”
Ships will be undocked after stealth (re-dock manually by entering their cockpit)
You can unstealth your ships from anywhere, but only in the same orbit
Stealth position is saved — ships reappear exactly where you left them
Stealthed ships avoid taxes and are immune to playfield wipes (e.g., Black Hole)
Pro Tips
- Be alone before activating stealth to avoid unintentionally stealthing other faction ships.
- Use stealth before logging off to ensure maximum protection.
- Keep your HWS DNA stocked to maintain and upgrade this feature.
