At the moment the cloak really excels only at waiting at key positions for enemies and then strike from behind. Not that i have a problem with it but to do so you need time, something you don-¦t really have on the STD cloak.
The other thing cloaks should be excelling is blockade running and cloaked hit-¦n-¦run tactics which are not that effective right now. This is due to its shimmering when running which will immediately be seen by anyone who only pays a bit of attention.
So far about the problems with the two play styles. You all see that there-¦s simply no way to make the cloak work good for both without making it OP or balancing it between those two without making it UP so there has to be a second variant of the cloak, let-¦s call it Flux Cloaking Module.
The regular one would be the one for infiltrating etc. It would last longer, have a higher signature dampening and a longer cloaking delay when getting out a weapon but it would be highly visible when sprinting, moving would drain energy much faster and it would have a longer reload time. You could also activate it until 25% charge.
The flux one would be as said for short bursts of invisibility as it would be needed to quickly rush past enemy lines or simply for Hit-¦n-¦Run tactics. It would have almost no shimmering, faster reload time and reduced fitting costs but would only last like 20 seconds, have no real signature reduction and have no delay for uncloaking.
The Cloak skill would increase the active time by +3% per skill level
Here as stats:
STD Cloaking Field:
Active time: 45 seconds
Recharge time: 30 seconds
Signature reduction: -20%
CPU: 160
PG: 35
ADV Cloaking Field:
Active time: 60 seconds
Recharge time: 40 seconds
Signature reduction: -25%
CPU: 230
PG: 50
PRO Cloaking Field:
Active time: 75 seconds
Recharge time: 50 seconds
Signature reduction: -30%
CPU: 330
PG: 70
STD Flux Cloaking Field:
Active time: 20 seconds
Recharge time: 8 seconds
Signature reduction: -5%
CPU: 120
PG: 25
ADV Flux Cloaking Field:
Active time: 25 seconds
Recharge time: 10 seconds
Signature reduction: -10%
CPU: 180
PG: 35
PRO Flux Cloaking Field:
Active time: 30 seconds
Recharge time: 12 seconds
Signature reduction: -15%
CPU: 270
PG: 50
For the shimmering:
Full Sprint now = Running with basic cloak
Full Sprint Flux = Running now
I hope you have some ideas as well
Cheers,
