The second item is a Cloaking Field. This sneaky bit of kit will not only make you (almost) invisible to other combatants, it will also blind turret AI targeting systems. It isnGÇÖt perfect invisibility, scanners will still pick you up if you havenGÇÖt masked your signal well enough, motion will disrupt the field to some extent and weapon fire will cause the field to shut down. This means it will take some skill to use to its maximum potential. This item is going to be a real game changer, particularly for Scout dropsuits which have been screaming out for stealth gear.

Not coming until at least 1.6. Be quiet and wait.

I want to know when the hell this equipment is coming. I want to abuse it like a rented mule in a black market.

Balancing stealth gear is a pain in the ass. Scouts will have it a lot easier getting close and even a militia shotgun is able to take out a protosuit with 3 hits at max.

You will not be able to use offensive mods until after you decloak, and there will probably be a delay before you can use the any weapons after you decloack as well. This is how they are balaced in Eve and I think it would be a good balancing mechanism in Dust as well.

im skilling into heavy suits and cloaking if this ever happens. youll never see that fatty sitting in the corner waiting to unload.

but in reality what about the shot gun scouts, I think it would make them way to op against heavies. scouts are already hard enough to hit when running in a heavy suit, now give them the ability to sneak up on heavies line up that perfect head shot and bam 1 shot and there dead.

People would will still cry op.

We already have this. Google the invisibility bug.

Now think, do we REALLY want entire teams with it?

Can't wait for this.

Re cloaks....no one can find him for the rest of the match

^^^ touch+¬, is it confirmed that it will be a piece of equipment or a specialty scout suit?

CCP confirmed that it is equipment I think. I'll try to find the link.

The idea of a light dropsuit is speculation at this point, and has been suggested by the players as a way to balance it.

Confirmation that it is equipment and that scout suits will benefit the most:

The invisibility bug is a bug. This needs to be fixed yes, but the module won't work nearly the same way. Had you read this thread, or any of the others which detail what is known and how CCP and the players want it to be implemented, perhaps you wouldn't sound so... well is moronic too harsh of a term?

Well, someone just said it better than I could. And moronic people cannot punctuate or capitalize sentences. You'd still have invisible people dashing up, shooting you, then vanishing, the only difference is you'll be able to see them for a brief moment as you bleed out.
