Scotty must have beamed me into a nicer side of town. Because I don't know who a "Michael Epic" is, and don't think I ever met him. And don't care, LOL.
If all he does is dash around in his birthday suit (which is how far you need to strip your dropsuit down, if you want to be cloaked through 80% of the match), and bash folks over the head or shotgun them when they are reversing the 20 second Null hack that he achieves (....which come to think of it is the ONLY excuse he can come up with to contribute to his team's hopes of winning the match)... then he a mosquito I stopped being annoyed about long ago.
Many of us who were skeptical about "the Romulan Cloak device" in our games, predicted there ARE going to be those matches where our team has won in the first 2 minutes, but then we have to spend the last 8 minutes dashing all over the map shutting off the panel that "Mikey the Cloakboy" turned on again,... and again on the north panel,... and again on the 3rd floor panel,... and there he goes again on the north panel again. "Celesta, you drive the squad over there this time---I'm tired of driving over there"
...Someone tell Mikey he's a nice kid, but, here--here's some ISK, take it and go use your proto-cloak in the Dust University girl's dorm or something. Please? Choak-shottie (Cloak-melee, Cloak-with-pitbull-dogbite) very seldom win the game for anybody....Lol.
So I have a new idea for the next Hotfix: New equipment called "Can-a-Raid". You approach the Null, and spray a perimeter cloud of Raid around the Null until you start coughing. If you hear a second sound of coughing, unload your firearm on the second coughing sound you hear. 
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

Can't be bothered to go back and re-hack that console you already hacked but didn't leave a worthwhile defense around? Stay in Ambush or Dom. Although in either of those you'll probably have the same results.
Nooo, el Operator. Don't misunderstand. I DO appreciate and respect Scout players.
They roam the map practically undetected, thanks to skill, SP-grinding, incredible situation awareness, and remarkable self-control.
They assess a nearby enemy player, and 95% of the time decide NOT to attack her! What's the point of murdering her? He can slip in, do anything he wants around the objective, slip out leaving the red player looking around clueless and feeling like a mutt. (an expert Scout wins more matches and racks up more WP by NOT killing those players.... if he gets detected and has to start shooting, from his point of view it means he got careless  ).
But the Scout Players mastered their trade in this game long before "cloaks" were added. I am sure some Scouts do carry a cloak on them, but I doubt it's for general assassination and "tag, you're it" with Null panels.
Mercs knfing and shotgunning around while "inviso" aren't in the same class as those players among us who MIC about enemy locations, set up roadblocks, tripwire bridges, and save their teams from being redlined by opening a CRU or Uplink 300 meters on the other side of the map, all while sneaking undetected.
Not in the same class at all.
But cloakboys want to THINK they are in the same universe as true Scout Players.
