Cloaks are almost ready to be released which is a very good thing,
but I want to look at the practical uses of a cloak in Dust514

So as far as I have picked up, you need to activate/deactivate cloak and wait out any cooldown time
You won't be able to engage in combat or do anything else while cloaked..
'Shimmer' effect while moving.... which is the polite way of saying, 'we can see you dip****'

So scouts lose their equipment, and their CPU/PG to using a cloak
In return they have the ability to hide, and contribute no WP to their squad

ehmmm... I don't see the point here... maybe I have missed something...

Because from what I have seen, this is only bad news for scouts...
We can no longer provide uplinks or AV or even some ammo ....
But thank god we can move about with this pretty shimmer while being unable to fight

This game is full of people trying to kill you... If anyone thinks invisible scouts will save you
from the deaths a normal scout gets you are wrong ....

All this does is make it easier for scouts to sneak up on guys not paying attention...
Which is about all the scout does anyway ....

I understand that firing while cloaked could **** people off, but you are asking scouts to give up

- Equipment
- Fitting cost... (Speed/HP/DMG/Dampeners)
- Ability to use weapon, without delay

I'm still hopeful that the cloaks can be implemented in a useful way, but so far I don't see it
