Decloak delay is currently invoked anytime cloak is selected. I believe its a bug. The delay should be changed to only activate during decloak.

Cloaks are seriously broken atm true, hell in Eve if i use a covert ops cloak similar to a proto dust cloak and the right ship for it there is no locking or firing delay. I thought we were part of new eden...this seems more like a Chinese knock-off of new eden with most areas being similar (shields, armor, modules etc in all areas) but definitely not in any case the same regardless of how similar they are.

Currently running cloaked in a proto scout with a proto cloak wondering wtf is wrong with someone to think the sp invested in this suit shouldn't make it harder to spot than the average bear. (whiners winning 99.8% of the time)

Like I said before, cloak should behave like in Eve, no time limit to cloaking, proximity decloak of 10m and a ~10 second delay in switching to anything else.

Give us that first and then we can start discussing Covert Ops Dropsuits.

When missions call for speed and stealth, situations in which heavily armored suits would be more of a burden than an advantage, a scout dropsuit is the best option. The enhanced mobility it provides makes up for its relatively low protection, and when combined with stealth technology modules, the scout suit is the obvious choice for infiltration, counter-espionage, and assassination.

They would not be useless, they'd be for travel and placement rather than "run up and shotgun you before you realize I am there because I am such a bad scout I can't get a flank on you unnoticed" (which is what I read when you say "hey lets make cloaks useless")

If scouts are covert ops suits, why doesn't CCP give them a similar bonus to Covert Ops capable ships in Eve? I mean they do have the reduced fitting requirement, where is the delay reduction?

lol

wrong try again

also 10 seconds was just a number I picked out of the air

someone is really defending cloak/shotgun......


what? can't you get behind someone without it?

Some of the ideas you propose I can get behind (like reticle not turning red when you're cloaked), though for the most part you a really striking me as one of the "we should be cloaked combatants cause I get shot too easily when I am not cloaked"

At least that is what all of your whining about how useless the cloak would be in this hypothetical situation leads me to believe.

Wow, I lose credibility because you say so, you're really full of yourself aren't you?

1. You can fire 2 shotgun shots before cloak is turned off - Broken

4. Those ships in EVE which have no targeting delay are made to use the cloak, stick the cloak on the drake and see what happens when you target something

Awwww, how cute, you think you can make proclamations like that.

Awww, they grow up so quickly don't they?

I love how you seem to be confused about me and trolling.

Trust me, this isn't me trolling, you're mistaken about the intent of my posts.

What is that word just above Dust514, you know, the one with the lines to either side of it?

that is response enough to your "Don't take my easymode button!!!" ranting.

lol

nice attempt at remolding my words into something you want people to believe

I almost want to ask if you're in politics but you're too garbage at it to have experience as a public servant.

Where did I make any proclaimation?

I made a simple statement.

of fact about your attempts to twist my words

when did I say I had a problem with scouts shooting people in the back?

I didn't, lrn2read

I did complain about scouts decloaking in your face with a shotgun

totally different thing that, 180 degree difference as a matter of fact.

Please continue to derail your thread while trying to save face.

Shhh, I tend to navigate by using my minimap, I know, I'm terrible

These all seem pretty good imo. Especially the underlined part. I had no idea it worked that way and it sounds pretty restrictive. If you run during the decloak animation the whole thing starts over from the beginning? Ouch...
