I run uplinks, and remotes. I've never even tried the cloak.
I feel like i'd use it to much and it'd be a crutch, just like a lot of people had with the 1.7 scanner.
Why do you run cloak? or why don't you run cloak?

Yeah sure. Because it's a crutch to have a no risk high reward method of slaughtering people by camping.

I tend to die by cloakers a lot this patch. Thought they were unable to fire until they had completely de-cloaked? Seems to me that CCP need to do a re-think on that ability... |

No. It keeps you dampened against Cal Scouts, doesn't it?

The cloak is a 25% dampener, so gal scouts with level 5 get 50% dampening with the cloak on.
I'm cal scout, and i can't see them when they're cloaked.

Why do you run cloak? or why don't you run cloak?
I tried it and yes I can see certain values in it. I also have run quite a bit without it. No I no longer use it. It is redundant to a half decent scout. It IS however useful to a tanked scout. You know the kind that play like an assault should be used.
To a light suit that actully plays like a real life scout it is a best a useful tool. Good for gettin' in a tight area or out of a pinch. Nither of which is anywhere near impossible to do without it. ffs I can do this with a fat suit.14 straight kill streak by going in the back door with a basic g-1(no plates).
I have also run across the ability to shoot while cloaked. lol, OP much? It( as best as I can deduce) is connected to hacking while cloaked. Yeah I put a glitch( or is it?) out there, but really you never caught this in your test ccp?
One of my main concerns is given all this the scout will again be nerfed into oblivion. And your going to do the same Damn thing to heavies too. Really? I mean REALLY!?!?! Do not get me wrong guys(ccp). I AM rather happy with this patch/build. But you really could do better.
I am nobody.

Sure that's true as well but I would rather go for a complex dampener (ok as long as you have enough lows). The simple reason is the more experienced users actively look after cloaked scouts and you have to hold that thing in your hand.
So everyone is actively watching for the blue shimmer and you don't have a weapon in your hand...funny enough you can still run past most players if your are not cloaked as long as you don't appear on the tac net.
Based from my last games your are more stealthy while uncloaked |

I run cloak to tactically get behind the enemy and zap them. |

Yep, this is pretty much the only reason I use the cloak on my gk.0 scout. It's basically a way of putting an extra dampener on my suit without using up a high/low. I think of myself as LoS visible, but below the radar.
I think the shimmer effect should be equally visible for stationary scouts, to discourage camping. Scouts are the fastest suit in the game, they should not be most effective when immobile. |

no cloak amarr scout. Always running and no one scans it in pubs so i like it. Cloaks are to obvious when you move and camping is boring.
