There are many instances in the Single Player Plot where ships are observed using cloaking devices. This is backed up by Freeport 7 announcing in the opening cutscene that unidentified ships have been spotted in the area, prompting the dispatch a fighter wing to escort a convoy out of the system prior to the attack. Further, it seems that cloaking is not perfect, as it is rumored that "ghost images" repeatedly show up on radar, betraying the presence of something, even if it cannot be pinpointed. Specifically, it seems the trouble with cloaking devices has been their extremely high power requirement. Apparently, even powerful organizations such as the Liberty Navy have been unable to get the technology to work. Rumors describe the technology as plausible, but extremely hard to replicate. At first they thought it was the Mollys, but I think that Rheinland is about to hit Leeds hard." - Captain Diana Ferguson, Bretonia Police, Planet Leeds Overview Ĭloaking devices are a hotly debated topic in Freelancer.

I think they actually did manage to get it working at one point, but the power it took was that of 10 battleship cores! I bet if you could manage to cut that down by 4 orders of magnitude you could put it on a ship, but I don't know if of any human technology existing that could do that." - Ronald Madden, Gateway Shipping, Planet Cambridge Years of research went into that lost cause. "Those Valkyries were mounting some sort of cloaking device! Not even the Liberty Navy has been able to get those to work." - Jun'ko Zane, Mission 5, while landing on Planet Sprague
