Run a skinny scout suit with just a NK, and they shouldn't be able to see you on their localscope or active scanners if you're hugging them. |

So you mean the more CPU/PG you have left over, the less signature you have? Make it affect how fast shields recharge as well and we got a deal.
I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

This is a great idea. They can also give you the ability to remove your weapon to further free up PG and CPU, making you completely invisible. Then, you can run around nude punching enemies in the jaw 10 times to kill them.

Scouts will finally be "invisible".
And the cloaking device is something I have no hopes for.
Check out my corp's new website here :D

Don't worry. This will be CCPs response a year from now when cloaks still don't exist.

Well, we tried to implement cloaking, once. After a grueling 30 minutes we gave up. You see, the PS3 cannot handle cloaking. We can't just make Scouts invisible and not render them, as this would make the Scout suit OP. However, if we make them translucent, we have to combine the colors of the player model and the background in our pixel shaders, and this is just too much for the PS3 to handle. We theorize that adding cloaking would bring the FPS down to 1 frame a second, from the 3 frames per second we have now, and this is not acceptable performance.

LOS 
- Also just powering the suit will give off a sig. and passive scan distance is so small that if you stay in the blind spot you can sneak up on people already.
I am assuming OP wants a percentage off the sig given the amount of free resources. Is this supposed to be less or more than using a basic dampener? |

He's saying you'd only be invisible on sensors, not literally invisible.

Yeah that tradeoff doesnt make any sense given how small the current radius is (when approached from behind).

My body shudders at the thought that somewhere out there, theres a nude invisible scout running around sneaking up on people. |

Thank you. In that case, to the person I had quoted, it was a hyperbolic joke. It was not meant to represent my thoughts on the matter. If you give up health and damage to be invisible to sensors, maybe you could give up your weapon and literally be invisible.

Sorry to thread steal, but I have to say I like the idea of "charging" your shield regeneration or (if you have a module equipped) armor repair based on free resources.
Just as an added bonus for when you have a bit of fitting room to spare, but not extra slots to fit equipment/modules |

Logistics with no equipment would love this.
