Camouflage

Choose one and append after semicolon above: Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectability range. Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Romulus with Type XX camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
