A bug and a feature request:
bug:
You can see nearby cloaked enemy ships in the commander's view while playing hunters.
feature request:
Ability to see cloaked teammates. If I cloak, my ship looks faded. When my teammates cloak, that is how their ships should look to me.

You could make an optional 5th parameter for the Team entry on a map... if present, that team is a Free-for-all team. That way, it is not tied to the game type, and a mapper can use it for their own uses... imagine a Soccer match with a third team... 'full contact referees' who are gain personal, rather than team, points for making a goal. It might make soccer games higher scoring because once the ball got near a goal, TWO teams would be trying to get it in, and one team would be trying to block it.
Just a thought.

I think it would be appropriate to create a 'no team' mode... where you get NO benefit from teammates at all, and every player is treated as a different team. That includes:Mine visibility

If I choose the repair module, I don't want it to repair other players in this mode.

That bug is amusing. I always get a kick out of it when someone shoots me and repairs me at the same time :)
