No, stop with the cloaking device!!

Why? This is literally my first post, and I haven't seen many people on the forums talking about it.

I haven't heard of this cloaking device stuff :\
where did you hear this from??

I hope it happens, but I also hope it's difficult to fit around and impossible to perma-cloak. I've always thought a cloaky Scout using pistols would be a lot of fun.

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.

*Facepalm..... -_-

why??

imo, it shouldn't be a full cloak, rather a active camo for you to more easily pass up people who aren't looking. A good eye might spot you, here.

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.

I have been saving SP and SK be because when I first started I spend plenty SP on Corporation(I thought it was to get more clone reserves in battle), big mistake.

I want to really get into the Scout because I love stealth; however, I haven't done anything w/ that class because I don't know if it has cloaking ability. I know it has camouflage... but what does that mean? Is it just less visible in enemies HUD?

Is there any confirmed news regarding camouflage coming to DUST?

Ok, CCP, I don't know if you can tell me but do you have a general idea of when you'll be releasing the cloaking device? I'm real excited for it so that I can stealth flaylock people from the back (trolololol).
