Donatra´s Behavior - KASE

Sometimes in KASE the following question is asked: the 5 km rule... does it exist?

The answer is: No. Not anymore. And here´s the proof:

She really cloaks randomly - depending on how bad her day was, I think....

And I´ve tested it.

I was in teams which were more than 5 km away and she cloaked many, many times (which drove us crazy, btw) and we had teams which were nearer than 5 km to her and she only cloaked once or twice.

There are only five rules:

1. Don´t stay in her firing arc.
Make sure that you can use Evasive Maneuvers (or at least your Deuterium device) or go to full impulse when she decloaks and loads her nasty weapon.

Which leads us to

2. Don´t die.
That should work if you did some of the recommended things in 1.

3. Shoot her whenever you can.

4. Use your repulsors only, if you know what you´re doing.
You don´t want to push her outside the firing range of your team mates.
And you don´t want to push her around, so that your team mates are suddenly in her Thalaron firing arc, one second before the hell breaks loose...

And of course (in case 1. and 2. didn´t work): :whistle:

5. Repair your ship´s injuries before you respawn.


I hope that helps to clear things up.


Greetings, A.M. :)


Edit:

And to all KASE newbies:

Don´t be afraid to participate if there´s a call for a KASE team in Stonewall chat.

We´ll explain and walk you through.

And IF the optional is lost: well, then it´s lost. No big deal, that just happens sometimes.

The important thing is that you have FUN! Yay! :)

Thanks! :woohoo:
I guessed the 5 km-rule didn't apply anymore, but still stayed 5 km away just in case.

Oh, sry, of course you´re right, Bao! :)

Also, keep in mind that Tractor Beam shuts down her (and anyone else's) ability to cloak. I don't know for certain if Grav Well does too, but a couple ships tagging out tractor beams can make the fight ridiculously fast.

I noticed that the insta death kill bug is still around. where she decloaks and instantly fires. That was surprising after playing the game after a year of absence!

Kill all the things?

Moral of the story is, Don't piss off an assimilate Romulan :)

Thanks for the info Andrea Maria!

Someone in the swamp (official forums) noted that it was if her aux or weapons were knocked out. So, grav beam, lucky phasers, subsystem targeting...would polarons do it? (To this day, I don't understand which subsystems npcs have.)

I find that all the things that are supposed to make her unable to cloak (tractor beam, antiproton sweep, attack pattern beta) don't actually work on her. Is this still the case with the updates?

I've had luck with the Metreon Gas Canister on the Regent Cruiser. She has to pass through the gas as it's exploding but it'll knock her out of cloak.

If they don't, then I've gotten really lucky in the past!
