==Overview== {{ability icons|Scimitar Battle Cloak}} '''Scimitar Battle Cloak''' is a player-only ability available only to [[Romulan Republic]] players flying the [[Scimitar Dreadnought Warbird|Scimitar]], [[Falchion Dreadnought Warbird|Falchion]] and [[Tulwar Dreadnought Warbird]]s, or their T6 variants, the [[Flambard Science Dreadnought Warbird (T6)|Flambard]], [[Khopesh Tactical Dreadnought Warbird (T6)|Khopesh]] and [[Shamshir Operations Dreadnought Warbird (T6)|Shamshir]] Dreadnought Warbirds, as well as the [[Legendary Scimitar Intel Dreadnought Warbird]]. It is a variant of the {{ability|Romulan Battle Cloak}}. It allows the player to [[cloak]] during combat and vastly increases survivability although it has to be used with caution as it will remove your shields. Equipping the {{item|Console - Universal - Singularity Distributor Unit||epic}} from the [[Tulwar Dreadnought Warbird]] will allow your shields to remain up while cloaked. As the player cloaks, any weapons that were already firing on you will continue to do so, such as cannon weapons or beam weapons, and also any projectiles that were in mid-flight will hit you. Although specifically called a Battle Cloak, players can still use this ability out-of-combat as they would a normal cloak. This is a toggle ability and will not remove itself even if the player attempts to fire at a target. To remove the cloak once it's active, click on the Scimitar Battle Cloak ability in your hotbar again. Players can use all abilities while cloaked which is very valuable as it allows you to come straight out of cloak [[buff|pre-buffed]]. Enemy players in [[PvP]] can remove this ability by using their own scanning abilities. Others players can also detect you if you move too close to them. Friendly players will still be able to see you in a cloaked state and also at a distance. ==Basic Information== *'''Profession:''' All *'''Locale:''' [[Space]] *'''Game Description:''' Romulan{{sic}} Battle Cloak grants stealth to your starship, but lowers your shields while active. Battle Cloak can be activated in combat, but disables offensive combat actions until the cloak is deactivated manually. The cloak will also disable when you interact with an object or contact.<br><br>When activated, your shields will drop for a few seconds before the Cloak fully engages. Immediately after decloaking, you will have a short duration damage bonus.<br/><br/>The strength of the cloak is determined by your starship's auxiliary power setting.<br><br>Your ship is easier to detect while cloaked if your Singularity power is high. ==Detailed Information== * '''Used by:''' Captain * '''Target:''' Self * '''Attack Type''': N/A * '''Ability Type:''' [[Buff]], Toggle * '''Activation:''' 1.00 seconds * '''Range:''' N/A * '''Shares cooldown with:''' ** None * '''Starts cooldown on''': ** Self only * '''Modified by:''' ** Skills *** {{skill|Starship Stealth}} **** ''(Improves Stealth and Cloaking)'' *** [[File:Engineering_Skill_3_R1.png|24px]] {{skill|Defensive Subsystem Tuning}} **** ''(Bonus to Auxiliary Power Subystem)'' *** [[File:Engineering_Skill_3_R2.png|24px]] {{skill|Warp Core Efficiency}} **** ''(Scaling Bonus to All Power Subystems)'' *** [[File:Engineering_Skill_3_R1.png|24px]] {{skill|Warp Core Potential}} **** ''(Bonus to All Power Subystems)'' ** Subsystems Power Level *** [[Starship (Power and Subsystems)|Auxiliary]] * '''Trained by:''' ** Not trainable (innate ability) ==Ability Ranks== {| class="wikitable" width="100%" ! align="left" width="155" | '''Ability/User Rank''' ! width="35" | '''<span style="cursor:help; color: #6d99b6;" title="Cooldown / Recharge Time">CD</span>''' ! align="left" | Ability Effects |- | N/A | align="center" | 16s | * After 3 sec, +__ Stealth * -200 Current Shield Power per sec (negated w/ {{con|uni|Singularity Distributor Unit}}) * +10 Flight Turn Rate * +3 Flight Speed * +50 Defense Rating * After Decloaking, +15% Damage Bonus for 5 sec |} ==Notes/References== * This ability's numerical figures vary depending on your current starship, rank/grade, skills and Auxiliary power level. * Similar to the Klingon [[Ability:_Battle_Cloak|Battle Cloak]], which grants somewhat worse bonuses to damage, turn rate and stealth but is unaffected by high [[Singularity Warp Core]] power. {{Template:BuiltInShipMech}} [[Category:Abilities|Scimitar Battle Cloak]] [[Category:Player abilities|Scimitar Battle Cloak]]
