Hey, I know everyone hates cloaks, and all, but now that the delay and reduction to range will be in place can the cloak get back some profile dampening. After the update it'll more of a hindrance to run the cloak at all, beyond being relatively invisible.

No.
The numbers (for dampening v. scans) are fine where they are (generally & in this instance).
Cloak will just require more physical/visual awareness instead of EZ mode passive scans.
The point of the update is to make the cloak more risky to use; exactly why the hindrances are being put in place.

I'm fine with them staying the same I'm just saying with the whole delay, barely any gain on profile dampening, just being a visual effect at basic level. This puts them at the worst position in terms of equipment.
I don't care that you can't see beyond a certain point while cloaked. I'm just saying the cloak is becoming very unattractive. Well I guess being situationally invisible, is cool by itself.
Meh.

Fair enough; I can see why you feel this way.
However, the reason why dampening on cloak is not higher is because putting the number too low would give Scouts an unneeded buff in the form of an extra slot and/or more CPU/PG.
The cloak is more than a visual effect; if you look at the numbers at the proto level, Min & Amarr Scouts need 3 complex damps + proto cloak to avoid a Gal Logi scanner. Gal & Cal Scouts need 2 complex damps + proto cloak. That's what the numbers are really about; pushing the limit ever so slight so to give a tactical advantage if used properly.
In regards to the changes, I'm sure the cloak will still be popular, but it may be marginally less effective/harder to use for direct combat. It should still be equally effective (and maybe even better) for certain non-combat tasks (I will be sad about not being able to Uplink hunt as well, though).
