The usual/broadly applied method is to give the MLT item the STD stats with higher CPU and PG costs.
The value of the MLT is allowing players to try an item and play style without having to spend SP s that they can know if they like the mechanics before investing their SP.
This value however is defeated in the case of the cloak in that it is already exceptionally expensive to fit without use of the Scout role but, and thus a MLT version with even higher fittings costs but without the Scout role skill effect would likely be a crippled piece of gear BPO or no.

Finding another method that would still allow the cloak to be useful, weaker than standard, and not prohibitively hard to fit, all while not devaluing the merit of the scout role buff, is a difficult prospect.

give it very low cpu/pg but give it a duration of 10 seconds and a dampening penalty. Utterly useless once you've unlocked the basic but will give a feel for how it works.

Utterly useless once you've unlocked the basic but will give a feel for how it works. I stand corrected, apparently it is not that hard to come up with a possible method That does indeed seem to be a workable way to give players the option to try the play style of the gear (the goal of MLT gear) and yet not buck the power curve or mess with the scout role. @Thread, can anyone see some way in which this would be OP (nothing jumps out at me but I like to get more than one set of eyes on). If no exploitable aspects are seen then this could be a method for getting a MLT cloak in game. And if we can viably deploy a MLT cloak then I see no reason why there could not be a BPO iteration of it on the market. 0.02 ISK Cross See a cool idea thread?
