Something simple, possibly beneficial, possibly aggravating, possibly stupid, possibly a lot of things.
While cloaked your chevron or tag or whatever it's called shows as Neutral, like an unhacked installation or objective.
Pros:
Potentially leaves enemies to think twice about shooting at you. Friend or foe? Should I focus on the reds in front of me, or this one guy running around?
Potentially less sniper deaths, for same reason as above.
Infiltration could be improved.
Cloaks would cause untold amounts of fear.
Faction War would be ******* scary. You have to make split second decisions whether or not to shoot the cloaked guy running in your general direction. Is he going for cover, or for kills?
Encourages team communication.
Cons:
Potentially troll to your team, scaring the **** out of them any time you peek around the corner. (If you don't communicate.)
You may be constantly pelted with BB guns by people trying to determine your allegiance. (If you don't communicate.)
Faction War would be ******* scary. If you solo, be sure to decloak before you run into a swarm of allies or you may get team killed. Communicate with your team, or you may die. |

This would kill scout use in competitive settings.
Everyone would just TK their teammates instead of worry about whether or not they were the enemy, just to be safe. They aren't going to be "scared," or think twice. They aren't losing the ISK of the TK, and the punishment won't be enough for them to worry about losing their gear, particularly if they are using officer gear. They will just kill any cloaked unit, and worry about consequences later.
This would result in people just using Assaults instead of Scouts.
Why? The cloaks are the only thing keeping scouts from being scanned by Gal Logis. With Team Deploy in place, the focused scans will be shared with the entire team now instead of just a 6 man squad. So not only will Scouts be killed by their team if they choose to cloak, but if they try not to wear a cloak, they will be perma scanned in PC, letting every single enemy know their position. There would be no point to EWAR, so there would be no advantage to wearing a Scout suit instead of an Assault that has way more HP.
I like the creativity, but this would be a horrible, horrible change.

Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.
