Cloaks! Cloaks Everywhere!
ok the idea is basically a kick in the balls for scouts essentially.. remove their 15% pg and cpu per level fitting for cloaks...
BUT get this.. add that bonus... TO THE CLOAKING SKILL its self... boom! whining about cloaked scouts? becoem a cloaked commando! or cloaked logi! or cloaked assault!..
/flame on!
disclamer, i reserve the right to feign sarcasm or honesty at any time in this thread.
ps. i think it would be hillarious if assaults became Scout-LITE.. and very ironic :P

The main problem is just cloaked scouts popping up out of nowhere and blapping you dead within seconds.

true i do hate that, it needs to be like 2 seconds before they can attack once decloak is triggered.. and flux nades should disrupt cloaks too

Frankly, the fact that it is a 15% reduction per level is the problem. Taking away 3/4 of the fitting cost cloaks for veterans only (if you claim that a 2 million sp investment isn't for veterans only you really need to practice more before you start telling lies in public) makes it difficult to balance as people whom haven't invested heavily into scout are forced to make tough decisions about what goes on advanced suit while proto users can fit a basic cloak on a basic suit and have all the advantages of invisibility without worrying too much about their fitting. |

People would just put a cloak on an Assault, damp it, and give it a shotgun.
The scouts now have more health. Congratulations.

You do know that cloaked heavies and assaults without enough dampening to avoid passive scans will not only still show up on tacnet, but have a red chevron above their cloaked head right?
Not to mention having whatever passive scans they did have negated by the cloak as well.
This would actually be a buff to scouts as fools who would think that the cloak would help would waste an otherwise used EQ slot and fitting costs.
It is not a good idea at all, but it woudln't bother me if it went through.
1.9 Where cloaked scouts give way to tanked scouts. Problem solved?

The scouts now have more health. Congratulations. Mentality flawed. Scouts don't need to fit camps, they have nowhere near as much ewar, and can't be as fast as a scout without making special effort. If you were to fit all that on an assault just to have the base stats of a scout, you wouldn't have that much more HP.

The proposed solution would make things more balanced by making the broken, poorly designed, OP equipment more accessible to everyone. But I'd rather they balance cloaks or out right remove it if they keep failing to fix it.

Sure. And then give us back our 5% dampening per level role bonus. Id be 100% fine with this change if that occurred. In fact, I would LOL as cloaked assaults and commandos with a little reticle over their heads thought they were invisible, as I shotgun them in the back. Or the fact that they think the cloak makes them invisible at all.
I would be 100% ok with this if scouts got back the eWAR that we lost.

Go undamped in PC and tell me how that works.
As for eWAR, you forget that rattati is going to be buffing eWAR on med frames.
By the way: My Minmatar Assault can run at 8.77, be damped enough to dodge proto scans, have 408 shields and run 2x Damage mods for his Shotgun.
Bring on some med frame ewar bonuses and I'll be golden.

I thought at least when they first came out fluxes automatically disabled cloak? That i agree with. Fluxes are baaaad for ninja baaaad. But that would make sense, cloak electronic fluxes disabled electronic frequencies so this should be no problem.

Not going to help.
Main issue is the scouts themselves The cloak just makes them even more overpowered. We need to give a direct kick to the balls to the scouts.... And afterwards we get anti-scout gamer ****** to throw them all in clone biomass vat acid. |
