Remove them, or at least change our **** bonus, the only people that NEED that bonus and need the Cloak are the ones who use them for Shotgunning, the ones who rely on them too heavily for combat purposes, Cloaks should NOT be used for Combat, and that is how they're being used.
Cloaks are a nuisance in-game, and are a pain to balance, either remove them, or make them use up more PG/CPU on our Scout suits.
Using a Cloak gives the player too much of an advantage over others, it allows them to assess a situation, plan their attack, and even start an engagement before the enemy even know you're there all for a low PG/CPU cost, because **** balance, right?
Its completely dumbed down Shotgunning, it promotes camping, and it only serves to worsen gameplay.
I hate the Cloak because it can be abused and taken far outside its intended use of safe traversal of a map, and a stealthy option for people who want to play a more passive Scout rather than being Combat Focused.
I also hate the Cloak because for some reason CCP thinks our bonus should rely on one piece of gear that does not suit everyone's playstyle, the Scout's bonus should have something to do with the TacNet, and later on down the road, the Cloak bonus should be applied to a Black Ops suit.
I specced into the Scout suit to Scout and sabotage, not hide in a corner almost completely invisible like a ****.
Woof! Woof!

You've always got to expect flame when proposing a 'Nerf' to the Scouts, those guys always want something but are not willing to give up anything for it.
The removal of the Sidearm would've been the perfect way to introduce Scouts in this build and a perfect way for CCP to passively say "Hey, Scouts! Your suit isn't intended for Combat Purposes, so deal with it!"
Woof! Woof!

There are better ways to approach this, and removing them is not one of them.
Also, people don't need damage modifiers either. Should we remove those as well?
Then change the bonus so that it is new player friendly, the one we have right now, isn't new player friendly anyway.
A bonus to the TacNet would be much better, everyone has one, so you wont feel the need to fit a piece of useless equipment that only serves as an extra dampener, it fits into all playstyles, Combat, Stealth, and Spotting.
Leave the Cloaking for Black Ops suits when they arrive.
Woof! Woof!

I love how you managed to make a post while contributing absolutely nothing to what is being said, what was the point to this snarky and oh so original reply that I haven't seen anywhere else? Did I insult you when I called Campers dicks? Or maybe you're just looking to farm likes because the 'Forum Game' is all Molon have left. I'm sorry that the truth hurts. But somethings I just dont have control over.
Woof! Woof!

I do have my uses for the Cloak I'll admit, I use it on Speed Tank / Speed Hack fits as a dampener because all the lows need to be dedicated to certain modules for those kind of fits, I use it a lot for easy traversal around a map too. But thats just about as far as it goes for how I use it, certainly not worth the 2.9mil SP for that crappy bonus.

I use the Cloak on some fits, I already mentioned that, but only as a dampener, I dont do that stupid 'Decloak' Pew 'Cloak' thing that most do, they're the sort of player I'm referring to.

*Tanks Gal scout and uses Cloak as Dampening Modules*
So you are ABUSING the cloak in a way XD
Cloak is FINE, just increase the DELAY it takes to shoot after decloak, REMOVE 25% dampening while cloaked.
Perfect.
I'm a Minmatar Scout who usually speed tanks, you couldn't be more wrong.

I'm a Minmatar Scout who usually speed tanks, you couldn't be more wrong. Well, im talking about my experience vs you, your corp mates, today, around 1pm eastern time, FA and A.Mercenaries vs me and a bunch of noobs.
Hard to forget since its the first time in months i go negative.
Anyhow. You played all game as a Gal scout with cloak and SG.
I forgot to send you a GG.
Still; one thing is what you say, other is what you do....
I can post images of my Skill Sheet showing 0 SP in any Gallente related suits if you really don't believe me.
The Min Scout is the only Proto suit I have, if you cant tell the difference between the Min and Gal Scout then you seriously dont have any right to be commenting on anything to do with Scouts.

What an original, poetic post, how long did it take your weak mind to come up with such an amazing post that really does contribute to the situation at hand?

That was only one of the proposals I made, so yeah, try harder and pay attention next time dumbass.
