When you spawn in, you are effectively cloaked. It normally dissipates after 2(?) seconds, or if you do something like switch weapons.
When you have a cloak active, and switch to something else, it dissipates.
But here's annoying thing:
When you're under spawn-in cloak, and switch to suit cloak eq... it drops your initial cloak immediately, before you have a chance to activate your own.
This is silly. Switching TO cloak, should not drop cloak field, IMO. Sure, it should time out as normal, but there should be a way to spawn in, and switch to your own cloak with no gap.
I'd like to see either an official statement from CCP of, "we support spawn camping, so we're explicitly design things for it to be unavoidable", or, ideally, some kind of anti-spawn-camping fix, for those who have cloaks.
Potential ideas for the fix, could be either that switching to cloak, does not disrupt your spawn-in cloak...
Or, that when you spawn in, in the field (rather than in MCC) that you are automatically set to have your own cloak module active, if you have one. |

DON'T SPAWN ON CRU'S BEING CAMPED
(Not trying to be a jerk, but really. Don't spawn on camped CRU's. This should be a non issue.)
That would only be a "non-issue", if CRUs had built-in scanners again so you could SEE that it was camped.
Otherwise, only way you find out, is if you, or someone else on your squad, spawns in and loses a clone without any recourse to save it.
And then okay great your squad is doing fine.. but what about the other players on your team??
(and if you think that's fine.. then you are being a jerk, whether you're trying or not  )

Im guessing eve gates dont give people an automatic 2-second cloak though? or do they?
If they dont, then DUST is demonstratably different and thus the EVE example doesnt fit.

With a cloak that lets you just stand there for 60+ seconds... why yes, I think "just stand there until everyone leaves" can be an excellent strategy.
Worse case, you can at least stand there and have a longer time to wait until they're looking the wrong way, before attempting to run for it or something.
