Now I can write what I wrote in response to this QQ. You say exactly what I say, except not at all. I specifically said that the only reason that scouts are killing you is because you present a target of opportunity, which is exactly how I killed you guys before I got a cloak. I don't care how quickly I can recloak, if I try to kill someone in a group for 4 guys....I.... will.....die. I have too little health to run away after popping one when 3 others are trying to kill me. Plus if one of them has a scanner there is a good chance they can pick up 3 of the 4 scout suits. (Little known fact, most scouts don't include a profile dampener) (Which I don't recommend btw). Also, the cloak is a finite resource, the reason we can recloak after killing someone is because we manage it, as with stamina, you donGÇÖt go into a situation unprepared. I am not going to engage with my cloak at 10% and my stamina at 0%. I will wait until I have the favor on my side. ThatGÇÖs the 8+ months of experience I was talking about. I will also say (snide comments aside) that I for one would welcome the return of no cloak, I spend more time turning it off and on than I do killing people. However, it has to be an all or nothing because I have too little health to run across an open field without now that there are so many others preying on me, unlike a medium frame. I personally think stacking armor should slow us down more than it does, but this is what CCP has created. Stop whining about the cloak, CCP has never taken anything out of a game, even the BPO's. They worked and created it, and its going to stay. O YEA CAUSE EVERY ONE STILL CARRIES SCANNERS OR DID U FORGET THAT NURFF TO THE GAME i am not saying YOU DO THIS ONLY THAT SCOUTS DO CLOAK AND REENGAGE( i wached a scout camp 2 uplinks running back and forth cloaked killing 1 or 2 players at each ALSO NOT SAYING CLOAKS NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE GAME ONLY THAT THEY NEED SOME FIXES AND CHANGES AND THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAITE 4 THE NEXT BIG UPDATE THERE SHOULD B A CHANGE NOW

Not aware of it, but if true - agree And I will suggest (for the 194th time) - any form of decloaking should start the r1 decloaking animation. 3. That's...kinda the point - without either one, you might as well scrap cloaks (I do kinda want cloaks scrapped, but it ain't gonna happen, so...). 4. No - it's something like 41CPU 8PG? Compare against other equipment - unless you think they cost nothing. And unless you want to change our role bonus to something other than just cloaks I suggest the current values are fine - you still need scout level 5 after all... 5. Again...kinda the point? I'd argue that sprint needs more shimmer, but walking isn't actually much better at the moment... Hope you are well fed now... as 2 the 4 th thing cpu and pg coust with out a scout suit skill is 160 cpu and 30 pg that is the base amount any suit but a scout has to deal with to equip 1 the 41cpu and 8 pg is after u get the scout suit effect this is why it is op on a scout suit an adv leval cloak is 231cpu and 49 pg so please show me how to have any thing on a non scout suit with out haveing a proto suit and then still its too much to fit any real equipment so yes all can use it but only a scout can fit it and still equip more then a wepon

AND YES IT NEEDS ANOTHER POST DO TO TIME FROM 1.8 RELEASE TO NOW WITH OUT A FIX TO THE 2 UNINTENDED EFFECTS OF CLOAKS 1: That's a bug, so whoever exploits that is cheating; not the suit's fault. 2: it's called turning off your cloak to save power. non-issue. 3: you're easily visible when cloaked. Pay attention and/or get your eyes checked. 4: that's the point. medium or heavy frames don't need cloaks, nor do they need them. 5: read 3 7: by the time you get 2 off on a heavy, the heavy should have time to turn around and shoot, ripping a huge hole in the shout, If not, the heavy's fault. 8: only the cloak before shooting was unintended. this was a huge waste of time. ok her we go 1 if its a bug why is it not fixed yet??????????????? 2 can u do that with hardeners on lavs tanks drop ships? no u have to waite 4 the cool down and it is an issue when 1 person can kill several solo do to cloaking to disappear on radar 3 not every one playes on the same tv lighting or brightness settings a hi deff tv is much better then outhers and harder to see is harder to hit no matter how you want to put it 4 if it wasent intended as 4 other suits why make it usable? also to put on a base leval scout suit it takes too much cpu with out more skills in to it and you are still looking at it as how it effects your char. not how it effects all 5 yea see3 not saying they can't be seen but just that it is a lot harder esp at close range when trying to target them 6 6? o u skiped six ? is ok i cant spell and u cant count :) 7 yea a heavy should b able to turn and shoot but it doesn't always work that way rember the scout is probably 2 x as fast and can strafe the heavy as he tres to turn and some heavys will die in 2 shots ( all suits not just the 1 you run need to be considered) 8 yes that was my first point and 1 of my main points is we shoulden't have to waite 4 a fix to that wast of time but u posted on it ? hummmmmmmm

Also reason #4 is stupid because scouts get a reduction to fitting cost to prevent abuse from other suits. So you would be fine with most suits being able to run a cloak if they want or all suits having problems with fitting a cloak? yes scouts reduce the cost but can u get a cloak on a base scout and more then a weapon? with out skills in scouts? base scout suit has g1 165cpu 37 pg a1 170cpu 35pg c1 174cpu 33 pg m1 183cpu 31pg so subtract 15% of 160cpu and 35 pg and that leaves little cpu and pg to work with with out base skills incresing pg it wont even fit on most scout suits at lev 1 some 1 do the math as to whats left after 1 pt in scout suits and no added pints in suit upgrades to up cpu and pg you pep seem to miss that iam saying this is a bit high 4 a base scout with a base cloak think new player less then 2 mill lifetime sp
