Have bullets and nades (- flux) increase the shimmer of the cloak field for a short time. Makes the scout easier to see.
Have flux nades deplete the available time remaining on the cloak by a certain percentage (33%?) possibly forcing the scout to retreat to recharge or engage before he is quite ready to.
I don't think weapons should drop the cloak and do damage nor should flux nades drop the cloak and remove the scouts shields (I would love to see it
, but I dont think it is fair).
Wait... so you want me to stop putting uplinks behind the enemy team that is redlining you? Fool. I use Cloak + Uplink and the R/Es not really a problem.
You don't need a cloak to get past the team redlining you. I was stuck in a match where my team were being redlined (I was killed as I spawned in twice) but within 2 minutes, if broken through the enemy line and stuck out an uplink. There were 16 in the match, but most weren't even spawning in. Suddenly, +25 kept popping up on my screen.
I was using a scout with no cloak. My logi squad mate did the same within seconds of me.
And REs are a problem- they can be deployed while invisible and detonated before uncloaking.
@Patrillicus: i'm fair game for the flux nades but how much would 33% be on a basic?
@ sir RAVEN WING: I alternate between compact or blueprint hives, stable links, basic cloak, basic or adv(rarely) proxy and re's,and basic needle and rep tool. C-c-c-combo breaker!!
@Raptor Princess: cloak is very useful for getting around stragglers or getting rid of them so it goes both ways (cloaking or not) since you can go cloak and minimize long range targeting on you and avoid useless fights, while no cloak rather takes time and while both can seem role play-ish, I guess your the type that feels like you James Bond or Snake or Sly or whatever you fancy. I said guess because I have ran into people that went scout for that reason and all power to them but that's how they play (whatever percentage but IDGAF) while some play for others reasons like game functionality, if it's viable because of recent update or QQ (always something),or f***tard FOTMs but I just hope you you aren't not using it because of superiority being in so and so update, "People are complaining too much so i'm not going to be a part of that", or you feel a "rush" is better than playing careful or "smart" and using said confusion for so and so or increasing chances to get pass said squad (proto maybe) running around the map farming clones.
