Don't know if this was asked already or not but will hacking while cloaked be possible?

Scouts get 75% off cloak CPU/PG so that's actually 75 CPU for scouts to fit it.

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
*Knock knock* CCP wanted to insure that only scouts could use it without much sacrifice. With there 75% bonus it isn't too hard for a scout to fit the cloak field.

nickmunson wrote: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
Nope, all scouts get the bonus.
G-Scouts get profile and range bonuses as well.

- Logi equipment bonus does not apply to their PG/CPU cost. Only scouts get the bonus to fit cloaks
- Cloaks have more in common with stamina than with the active modules vehicles use. You get some kind of funky cloak bar that diminishes as you use it, and it takes the time listed under "recharge" in the table to go from depleted to full.
Wolfman or Remnant is probably going to make an actual devpost, so I won't steal their thunder with the actual mechanics (which may very well have changed since we discussed them) 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.
"can we aim while cloaked?" good question as CCP said shooting would disable cloak but never said anything about ADS.
I still wanna know if I get de-cloaked while hacking.
