Linky for the official cloaking info: http://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/03/equipment-is-your-friend/
Just for those who needed it.
Also, as of that post, and Fanfest, we don't have a solid timeframe on them yet - I'm hoping sooner rather than later, but they sounded like cloaking would be the LAST thing coming from that devblog, and nothing else listed there has shown up yet except the return of Active Scanners.
I want them to fix passive scanning first, THEN we can look at cloaking - I'd love to see a cloaked Logi appearing in hotspots to patch up the wounded, then vanishing and retreating once the job is done. Or the more predictable cloaked Scout because being detected by an enemy's scanners (whether passive or active) means you're still marked even though you're not visible. |

I still say the best option would be to make cloaking devices a MASSIVE PG/CPU drain, but give Scouts a MASSIVE fitting bonus for them so we can use them with much less restrictions than other suits.
If they nerf Logi PG/CPU down a bit, but give them a similar bonus to almost all equipment fitting EXCEPT for the cloak (or if the bonus is small enough not to make the cloak easy to fit), they'll - like any other non-Scout - be struggling to fit the cloaking device without limiting their other options significantly. That way, a cloaked Logi will need to be built around the cloak, making the actual Logi role more viable than a stealthy hunter "Logi". |

Just have it similar to in eve, make the cloak use a really high amount of CPU. You could in theory fit it to anything but it will totally gimp your heavy fit that's for sure ;-) give scouts a "95% reduction to CPU usage" or what ever.
It's meant to be an Equipment option. Heavies won't be able to fit a cloak at all, because they don't have Equipment slots. |
