There will be more details to come - but after discussion with the CPM, CCP Remnant and Wolfman decided to go with implementing a design that will mean you are not able to fire while cloaked. This was something that the Community / CPM seemed fairly keen on and Cloaking will be used primarily as a relocation / movement tool.

We're still working out the kinks and nothing is final, but just to let you guys know that we love the feedback and I promise you that we're crawling through your posts. :)

then the cloaking is broken. to much cpu. at proto all you will be able to equip on any character is a gun and cloak. nothing you build will be battle feasable at proto lvl and less durable then even a militia fitting without it. so if its for relocatiing only then lower cpu cost cause even scouts have only about 300 cpu with electonics 5 so im running around just shot gun and cloak no armor or anything cause lack of cpu come un cloaked to shoot . kill one n then wait 40 seconds by that time im dead. i feel at proto lvl you shoud be able to shoot with like a time duration expendature of 10 seconds per shot. that way u can kill one.stay cloaked for bout 10 to 20 seconds more (in which shooting another enemy is not feasbile while cloaked cuz 2 shots ur visible but more then likely one ) ,but relocate. cool down 40 seconds n cloak up for 80 again at proto lvl takes2 to 4 shots so 20 to 40 seconds depleted . one enemy keeps scout a viqble option but not permanent threat in game and also not visable option during pub matches like ambush. or allow the dont shoot n reduce cool down n cpu . other then 300 cpu its not visable for any suit especially logi. as u will have no other equiptment nor the durability to stay in battle to logi. i understand sacrificing durablitly for such a powerful equiptment but ccp you did it a little excessively.you cant equipt even on shield or armor plating just for " relocating purposes" sounds pointless cause a scout would at least need one to 2 dampners as well and couldnt fit it. so you went to making a scout over powered with it. to just dumb for using one cause on hit hes dead and or scanned. the math does not add up for useability.

profile dampners are low slot, cloaking is equiptment slot still look at cpu usage. cant equip both. let alne anything other then a gun and thats with max electronics cloak proto is 300 cpu. tanks barely got that after gun rep n hardner. wtf was ccp smoking lmao

are you sure all scouts are getting the pg/cpu reduction of cloaking i thought all the other scouts got bonus to reduction of cool down and gallente was the scout that got cpu/pg reduction of it

but all that know me know i wont sacrifice my RE for a gay cloak. i do more dmg n kills with it lol.

is there a specific sound when cloaking & uncloaking? Can a merc aim a weapon while cloaked?

these changes are a step in the right direction in terms of reducing spam. Our blog still takes the stance that the max number of uplinks allowed should be one [also that uplinks should be disrupted if too close to another uplink] lastly, the active scanner should get a longer cooldown. The shortest we should see on any version is 20 seconds.

330 CPU for a proto cloak??? thats all the scout have 330cpu. must be a error??
