I plan/expect for a great deal of shooting the air. Nice thing about featuring the LR again, just swipe it across the screen, won't use much ammo!

If a scout even has the CPU/PG left over for it they're still going to need a nanohive.
This raises a question for me.
Cloaking will not interfere with resupply will it?

Your situational awareness will need to improve, and in the heat of battle you will no doubt not see those chevrons. That's going to be the big issue with cloaking, is scouts seizing their opportunities properly. No red chevron (except if they're decloaking), but the crosshair still turns red and you see the target intel when you're aiming at them.
Pleeeeeeaase tell me passive scan still works (assuming I can get beneath them with a Cal scout).

i seriously doubt cloaks will be as powerful as as everyone thinks.
Did you you know cloaking is already ingame? We are cloaked when we spawn in.
If you ever been spawn camped you might have noticed/wondered that the campers are looking dead straight at you but don't fire until you move. Because the power of a red crosshair is a really good tool to use when finding hidden enemies.
Or have you ever fluxed an uplink and got surprised when a heavy appeared out of thin air... with full shields. This is why i am certain fluxes decloak you but don't effect your shields at the same time.
Or have you ever seen a teammate spawn in then move. If you pay close attention you will see their shimmer effect. And what i have seen is that that shimmer is almost as noticeable as a neon light at sunset.
...then again im just sayng my opinion on the matter

They will be initially overpowered at some level once figured with the optimal setup. It's like a railgun, its a med-long range weapon with no actual drawback for short range use. I think the one thing ppl forget is that this game has the same skill set and equipment available to all and everyone strives toward an "optimal build". Unless a cloak takes a significant amount of CPU/PG, you're looking at players running around at top speed attempting shotgun/nova knife kills and then hiding safely.
If it was my call, I'd prefer CCP takes things slowly and ask themself (1) what works and what doesn't then (2) how can we make this game work better. We add combat rifles, rail guns, new pistols, etc. Nice that we add all new content but how about adding patches that make the game work better.
For MAG vets out there this is the equivalent of the bullet spread debacle, the SVER Tamsen being overpowered and take a sniper and using it as a shotgun. Weapon balance is not about having weapons all equal but ensuring that what they are good at, they are and what they suck at, they just significantly suck at. I'd prefer CCP to really spend resources fixing the aspects of this game rather than releasing stuff like "a cloak". |

CCP im going to hunt you down and murder you all. How can this be a good thing!? Its gunna be so freakin confusing xD ah dear god ..

Honestly anyone worried about cloaking just needs to play TF2 and go up against a spy once or twice, it seems to play similarly. That or just download Planetside 2 and hop on an infiltrator, works exactly the same way. If you stand still you are invisible if you move you get the whole predator look. Makes a sound when you cloak and uncloak. It is in no way gamebreaking. |

Agreed.
But it has to be sci-fi somehow (I doubt a flaming liquid will hurt a dropsuit)... How about a plasma projector device? Meaning rather than shooting small, pellet gobs of plasma at a high speed like the AR, the projector emits a short but wide cone shaped magnetic field that contains a roaring cloud of plasma, and anything caught inside of that field will be turned into molten slag almost instantly.
Basically a high tech plasma welder on steroids. |

I like this, but it would have to be not too powerful, and around the same damage (or a bit more) than the HMG but with much less range to it. |
