Or your cloaks runs on "ammo" and the bonus is reduction to the cost to activate (fire the cloak) enabling you to use it more times than other suits without having to use a hive or supply...

Going by EVE standards, ships are very limited in what they can do while cloaked, so I'd assume DUST will be fairly the same (but still good for sneaking up and then decloak and cut you)

/c

Unless cloaks cost too much fitting to also fit a Thales an damage mods and dampeners. Just saying, we don't really know.

Well those just a descriptions, nothing more. By gallente scout description you should by literally almost invisible & all seeing eye without mentioning of use cloaks, dampners or scan range, precision modules.

So maaaybe:
Amarr scout - bonus to reactivation time of cloak
Caldari scout - bonus to decloaking time (after switching off, switch to weapon)
Gallente scout - bonus to invisibility (less distortion, shimmer while moving, running, taking fire)
Minmatar scout - sucks at cloaks lol

We already know the actual scout bonuses.

Scout - 10% reduction to CPU/PG cloak cost
Amarr - 5% reduction to cloak cooldown time
Caldari - 5% reduction to firing cloak cost
Gallente - 5% increase to scan radius, 5% profile reduction
Minmatar - 5% increase to melee and nova knife damage

For the Caldari, this means that the implied cloaking time is effected LESS by firing. This would mean that the cloak does not instantly drop upon firing a weapon, but likely suffers a significant decrease in the time it is active. Supposedly, this means that there will be a meter that ticks down upon cloaking, and firing a weapon causes a chunk of that meter to disappear (25% less for a lv5 Cal Scout). Hopefully it will just be enough buy you a few extra seconds after a SG or NK to either get a finishing blow or GTFO. That also means that you would need to start firing very soon after activating the cloak to really benefit from the bonus, giving you a bit more time to get a shot off without breaking the cloak or an extra shot to ensure at least one kill.

Only the Gallente Scout gets a reduction to scan profile, considering it also has the most lows, that means it will likely be the only scout that can viably avoid scans. This is balanced by the fact that it is slower than the Minmatar and does not get an extra cloaking bonus.

The minmatar can stab people, but it can't cloak very well nor will it likely be able to avoid scans very well. Combine that with its anemic CPU/PG (unless that changes), and you have a NK/melee suit that is lacking in everything needed to actually get close undetected. No idea what they were thinking with that.

EDIT: forgot a something, added

read the cal scout description

This will never happen if CCP takes the CPM even -slightly- seriously.

As I read it is that the cloak workes against eye detection but still scans pick you up.

May be wrong tho =ƒÿÅ

Also with al this changes I realy hope there will be a full respec
One can always hope =ƒÿà

While you may have a valid point, Applejack is still best pony.

the spy invisibility ability in team fortress 2 is ******* op compared to dust cloak when ur 100% invisible no shimmer bs and 1hit knife kill the only thing in tf2 spy less op than the dust cloak each time the spy shoot or stab the invisibility ceases wit sec delay to re use it again.

QFT


You can't really compare the two, considering TF2 has the Pyro, whose primary job it is to spray the surrounding area with a flamethrower that instantly reveals and will likely kill any enemy Spy.

That, and because Dust is a FPS, while TF2 is clearly a Hat Simulator.

You cloak. The amount of "shimmer" is increased as you move so standing still you will be nigh invisible, but when moving you will be noticeable to an extent. When cloaked, you obviously have no chevron or health bars, but the enemy reticule will flash red if you run past it. no need for pyro

hope so. Cloak should have distinctive sound when cloaking and uncloaking. Allowing shooting while cloaked will ruin this game. Cloak should be equipment like scanner. if u switch 2 a wpn the cloak dissipates.

Minmitar should get a bonus to reduced cloaking cost/ shimmer while running...just my opinion

1. Them proto scanners will pick them up for sure if they are NOT wearing Gallente Scout Gk.0 with all four complex profile damps. Considering snipers rely heavily on having lots of high-slots, the Gallente scout won't be something redline snipers would even look at.

2. If they are in FW, teamkillers will deal with them.

In thread about cloaking, has comment about when will knives be improved.
I think your talking about the wrong things in this, rather ask for knives to not drain cloak energy and you will be happy.
Heavies will not.

You think redline tanks are bad? Wait until Caldari scout snipers are cloaking and then OHKing you while you search for something you cannot scan or see.

Be afraid. The scout will return

If I ever get sniped by you now I know exactly where to look.
