Real cloaking/invisibility that does not generate a lot of heat or one direction is done by using material which bends electromagnetic waves, in this case visible light around the user. When light bends around the user it also means nothing is entering the users eye either, meaning the user is effectively blind.

Of course the user would have another form of vision while they are cloaked and this is where X-Ray Vision would come in. Being higher frequency and shorter ++, means that this vision would be short range due to scattering.

I was thinking something like this vision wise
Something along the lines of this

This would prevent cloak sniping from being as effective and the blur would limit movement with the cloak, especially if you can't see where everything is until you within 30 m of it.

I've also thought that maybe it should take a high slot and a module to run a cloak, with scouts being able to skip out on the slot requirement.

Any thoughts on this?

Any ideas involving Cloaks have my +1.

BUT i would prefer something like cloak being SCOUT only.
OR there is a slight chance, were you will get in a game and the whole enemy team is using cloaking devices....

YAY,invisible Forge gunners, invisible mass drivers, invisible EVERYTHING... XD

It will probably be an equipment. I want to see (not see) invisible Minny hacking logis, but I think scouts should get a fitting reduction, Maybe 70% pg and CPU usage.

For x-ray vision to work you need an x-ray emitter on the other side of what your are looking at. Since Dust maps aren't littered with 1000's of x-ray emitters I say we go with thermal vision instead.

cpu reduction is pointless considering that scouts have small cpu/pg pools (a scout cpu/pg reduction would equal a logi with high cpu/pg, essentially no bonus), it would essentially be zero benefits to scouts, tis better to make the equipment suck for the other suits performance wise than to give the scout the cpu/pg boost, and this is even considering if we are giving the other suits cloaking at all.
