This is a horrible idea, you have been warned.
So.... cloaked got removed cos shot-gunners overused it, so why not apply the ability to only nova knives? i mean like if you press L1 or a button you go cloaked for a certain amount of time and higher tier nova knives will last longer and recharge faster and if you switch weapons your cloakness disappears. It would definitely give nova knives a boost and more people would start using it and enjoy your work. One last thing, enable sprint charge if it is not too big of a problem, cos it takes a while to walk up to someone with a charged nova knife while you try to strafe and going diagonally towards them and jumping stupidly trying to dodge their bullets. |

actually one of the better ideas I've heard was making it so you have to have the cloak loaded like handheld equipment.
Meaning if you equip a weapon, cloak goes bye bye. |

How does that have to do with nova knives and define what you mean by "cloak goes bye bye"? |

I like the cloak as a hand held weapon. It keeps the EVE idea going where you have to sacrifice a weapon slot for a cloak. |

means you can't cloak and have a weapon in hand at the same time. Like you're too busy manipulating that holographic computer on your forearm to shoot Blueberries... err Red dots. I meant red dots.
yeah. |

Maybe we can activate it via equipment slot, timer counts down and then you switch to your weapon. It will be cool if you can sprint while cloaked with a slight visual clue to the enemy that someone is sprinting while cloaked.
I want the cloak to be a tactic, not the fotm. Some Predator like cloaking, he manages it himself, hell he has the same thing on his left arm lol. Either way, this should allow scouts to survive better. There is always something cool about being a ghost! |

I am a knife user and would not want any changes to the knives from their current iteration. Any changes that replace player skill for automation (sprint while charging, lunge, cloak) will cause Nova Knives to fall into the FOTM category. If you want to give them a bonus like that, give them the added effect of a profile dampener of their proper level (bsc,adv,pro) when equipped.
On the subject of cloaking... shouldn't this be handled by the suit and it's profile? If you are in a lighter suit, you're harder to see, in a heavy suit, you're easier to see. What if the cloaking was a module with high fitting/specialty issues like the Mobile CRU on vehicles. Maybe make it a dropship only module, maybe make it a squad module (like the remote armor repairs while also affecting the user because it's a swarm of optical-camo nanobots). If you can't go prone in a game, you're already precluding a lot of the typical function of any stealth modules and relying on scope (size of the map) to handle that aspect of stealth for you.
In EVE, the prototype Cloaking Unit is a piece of tech that few can wield, and fewer still can use properly. The meta-benefit of the module is information, which is often more powerful than any type of weapon.
TL;DR
levels should have more nooks and crannies rather than stealth modules for individuals (this will both challenge and satisfy the knifers). Stealth/cloaking should promote teamwork rather than lone-wolf playstyles to prevent blueberry nuking and loss of new players.

Any of you tried to spy on a guy and charge up your knives and the guy sees you and trots back while you can't even hit him while he shoots you to death?
If we enable sprint charge we can complete nova knives and it would not be lowest of the food chain |

Cool another module slated to be released that has not even hit the market and has already been removed What about the deployable shields that were slated for 1.2 and instead we got Active scanners? Just keep reminding the Devs they may get to it in a bit... |
