Yes, I know it's a piece of equipment and only nanocircuitry has a hidden bonus, but hear me out.
There are only three cloak module variants - basic, advanced, and proto, unlocked at Lv1, Lv3, and Lv5 (barring Aurum or LP versions). All of the modules that work this way have an operation skill bonus linked to them.
For equipment, which aside from nanocircuitry, lacks a bonus, you get multiple item variants unlocked at Lv2/Lv4.
So if the cloak skill didn't have a bonus, then it'd be the only in game item that worked this way (lacking a bonus and alternate versions of the item unlocked at Lv2/4). So there'd be no point in having the skill at Lv2 or Lv4, if you didn't intend to upgrade it further.
So will it have a bonus then? And if so, what? I'd prefer 5% reduction to regen time per level, please. And not something stupid like making the profile reduction depend on skill level (so you'd only have the 25% reduction if you had proto cloak). |

QFT
this would be a great idea. then at proto, the ishukone cloak field would have the same cooldown as the ARN-50, but with a longer active period.

Yeah, there's a 5% reduction in CPU usage for nanohives/nanite injectors per level. |

All this time...I've been squeezing hives and compact hives on my suit...I could have saved so much CPU...so much CPU(like 5 I guess, but that is a lot when your maxed out at 394)

Maybe they should release special variants then, unlocked at Lv2/4, to be in line with the other equipment.
A short duration, super short cooldown version could be interesting.
Or maybe an energized version that had a shorter cloak duration but added a shield HP buffer when cloaked.
Or a version that increased movement speed while cloaked? That might be OP though. |

Yeah, a sort of stable or assault cloak field would be cool. Have it last for about 20 seconds but only down for 10 but it must recharge fully... just an idea. |

If I may give some advice? Use Needles on an Assault suit, you'll be able to pick up your logi friend if he were to die.

I'm glad somebody asked the question - been wondering myself.
It would be nice to have variants (not a 'stable' one though...), though there are two reasons I'd prefer not in this case.
1) Ideally, CCP will get the hint and stop introducing skills that do nothing but unlock new items. It's really lazy (basic light/med/heavy frames anyone?).
2) They will need to establish the effectiveness (OP/UPness) of what represents the basic concept of an item before creating variants. Otherwise you might end up with something similar to the Burst AR or the ACR.

It only unlocks. Logibro confirmed it in the patch notes thread somewhere (p2 iirc).

Looks like the patch notes answered my question:
CCP Logibro wrote:Reav Hannari wrote:What is the skill rank for Cloaking? Does it do anything other than unlock the cloaking device? Rank 3, nothing other than unlocks cloaking.
Anyway, I guess that means I'll be leaving the cloak at Advanced.
Edit: Ninja'd. Were you using the cloak? o.O |
