Don't think the Light Feet pill from Shadow gives -weight.

Docking

Trade slaves don't seem to care about docking speed.

AI haven't cared about docking speed since the game launched :P

If the item says so, then it does, unless there is some underlaying issue with weight bonuses on tweaks, in which case all tweaks with this bonus is most likely bugged. So I'd like to have a bit more detailed explanation to why you don't think it gives a weight reduction :)

As explained in a previous thread, this is most likely intentional from the developer that made Infernal Darkness. I can take a look at a later time and see what a change to the visibility will result in, but it doesn't strike me as a necessity to force low visibility on all "Streamshields" :)

It doesn't show up in F10, and a weight reduction would mean I'd be more agile, which I'm not, except for the stats the tweak gives.

Thanks vert. No, I wouldn't say it's a necessity either, but since I built it it's just been sitting in my storage because phantomstream is much less visible and that's what I wanted out of it. As far as 'combat' streamshields go, Bole shield is much cheaper and more survivable. It just seems to me like it's sitting in a strange middle ground where no one would want to use it :/

Look at Firestream. High vis from Infernal Tempest stuff. Darkstream follows that line, not the slipstream line.

the visibility-20% is a direct upgrade from phantomstream

Is Phantomstream from Infernal Tempest?

Phantomstream is a Halloween drop.

Post subject:  Re: Content Fixes/Unbalance/Minor Tweaks
My point exactly. Darkstream is a modification to Firestream, as it is from Infernal Darkness, a modification of Infernal Tempest.

Where does slipstream fit in to this theory

Slipstream is an AI base-bought shield that is a play on a type of air flow called a slipstream which allows objects to flow through a path of air with minimum resistance due to currents. Jetstream as well, with similar properties. Jetflood as well Airstream. Jetflow. "Slip throught the ether" "Slip through the vapor" "Slip through the air".

Then there are the Halloween shields: Ghoststream, Spiritstream, Phantomstream.
"Why else are the so elusive?"

Paxian Shield. Mythstream.
"Mythic Scout Shield"

Christmas Shield. Sleighstream.
"That's how Santa flies so fast."

And then the Infernal Tempest/Darkness shields: Firestream, Darkstream.
"Burn through space" "Burn through the dark space"
