I am not sure how exactly it could be used super effectively but I am positive someone will figure something out that it is just completely obnoxious, effective, and fun.

Higher level into Cloaks will probably either just let you use higher level Cloaks or possibly make the module last longer. If there is some kind of penalty, maybe higher level will reduce it. Say it takes 3 seconds to be able to attack after uncloaking. Each level will reduce the duration by 10% per level, down to 1.5 seconds.

I am going to say "no" on more than one Cloak. Would be hilarious if they were foolish enough to let you do that though...

Nyan san will get it nerfed into uselessness

It would be absolutely silly and morbidly stupid for the cloak to actually take away 75% of your suit's CPU/PG when fitted on a scout. -We're not sure if melee is counted. -You can move without being seen. You just don't get noticed as much as you would without the cloak. If you sprint, your cloak fluctuates even more. Scouts apparently get perks when fitting the cloak that other suits won't have. Quote: Questions that I have: -What is the bonus you get from investing into cloaks (i.e. rail rifles get reduction kickback) -Can you have more than 1 Cloak on your dropsuit? Am I missing anything else? -To weapons? None. The cloak has a built-in profile dampening bonus of 25%. Not sure about the skill books, though. -According to CCP, no. Just like in Eve Online you can only fit one cloak equipment per suit. Dedicated Scout // Ninja Knifer *CLOSED BETA VETERAN SINCE REPLICATION BUILD*

Broonfondle Majikthies Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 784	Posted - 2014.01.31 05:23:00 - [12] - Quote I don't care how noticeable the 'shimmer' is. The most important part of the description so far was 'enemy cant see your health bar' The amount of times an enemy has picked me up by my floating red 'Kill Me' chevron above my head or all my dampening rendered useless due to infallible suit vision. As I keep saying. Its not invisibility so much as camouflage which is what I've been wanting from the beginning "...where Bylothgar the Ill-postured was made King of the People With No Name But Decent Footwear"
