I would skip the cloak honestly until you max cal scout. Learning how/where/when to move is much more important early on, toss a damp on there and stay out of sight. Cal scout is great for hit and run combat. Either a kin cat or a regulator as your 2nd low. Damage mod, precision, extender in your highs, or swap the damage for another ext or energizer. The combat rifle is good, also the acr or arr work well for hard hitting and moving. You also have tons of options for equipment, depending on how you want to play. Offense? Bring ammo and remotes, defense bring a scanner and uplinks, support? Bring a needle and reps, you'd be surprised at how a slick mini medic can sneak in for revives and reps...
All in all, learn to flank big fights, not dying is more important than slaying early. Pick your shots and make people fight your fight. Also, don't be afraid to run lol. Good luck.

As for tactics. If you're not brick tanking, I feel like certain rules apply to all scouts.
Sneak attacks.
be aware of your surroundings.
If you cant bag your target by the time he faces you, or come reasonably close, retreat and/or out maneuver him.
If somebody spots you before you can initiate retreat and/or out maneuver them.
If you take unintended fire from another target feel free to back off.
Basically the scout role operates well in solo play and in tandem with a squad, using the combat zone as a focal point allows for great flanking, and also to pick off would be flankers. It's also good for slight of hand combat, using high profile targets (Anything the enemy can see that isn't you) to create opportunities to strike hard, fade out and re-engage.
I'm not the best scout in the world, but it is my go to suit when I want to make a direct and decisive impact on the match in many capacities. Aside from Logi, it's the game changer class. Well placed links behind enemy lines, strong ambushes to confuse the, there's plenty of options. o7.
