Secondary post as this is about cloak. But if things like flux start to drain cloak, along with weapons. I see a lot fewer people running them. Cloaks make my life a little easier, but if they get to be "more trouble", I will gladly use that second equipment slot for something that has more tangible uses.

Currently I only use cloak for its damp bonus and hacking nonobjective points.

As Shotty forgot Dragon Age, I forgot Wipeout. I got gold on nearly every single map and almost got platinum for my friend. Just like Infamous I got it for free from the PSN hack.

Super Stardust HD... maybe if it is free for PS+ members. There are a lot of the HD series/remake/reinvisiond platformer games in the PSN store. They're all really awesome, but I've never spent money on them. Always just played them when I was at a friend's place.

OMG. I said that and I forgot.

Castle Crashers
MegaMan 9
MegaMan 10

I used the Hack bonus to get Infamous and Wipeout as well.

We should race sometime! I can bust out the old Assegai and have some fun!

@ Minmatar (paging Ghost Kaisar)
Is there more to the Minmatar's problems than limited resources and fitting constraints? To quote Mr Musturd, "Man, I don't play Ghostbusters514 unless they need me for PC."

Red pills are mandatory if you want to knife. Those fits are great, but can be outdone on the gal scout with ease.

Something else to notice, you are forced to fit basic great on an adv suit with level 5 skills. Other scouts you can mostly fit complex gear on a adv suit.

The disparity is the issue. Along with overlapping/outdoing roles. Which is what caused slayer logis. Minmitar won't be used if it can be outdone with a different suit.

Thing is Min dont have hp, range, dampening or precision in their favour and what you advocate is not taking advantage of the one thing they do have when the others do fine at maximising their attributes.

Not saying what you advise is wrong but game design wise that cant be right.

It had to be done.

Having any weapon affect cloak charge will have no impact on cloaks being 'OP' (in quotes because I don't necessarily agree that they are). If you're already attacking a cloaked scout, it really doesn't matter if they're cloaked or not - the problem is when you're not attacking them, don't know they're there and they're attacking you (still cloaked).

Athena above me has the right ideas. Most of all get the decloak-insta-shoot problem fixed and most cloak issues will disappear instantly. A slightly increased decloak time and slightly less total cloak charge and slower recharge are all acceptable nerfs but only if kept slight.

I also wouldn't be totally against raising the fittings requirements a little but I don't think this will achieve that much - it's certainly preferable to lowering scouts cloak fitting bonus, which would just bring us closer to the level of other suits (specifically logis) ability to cloak.

The cloak should be encouraged as a method of changing position rather than an assault tool. Reach a safe location near where you want to be, perhaps behind the enemy line, decloak, then attack; not run right up to enemy, attack while decloaking.

2 Questions for you all:

1. Any information about our event rewards?

2. Any advice for someone starting his own corp?

I feel like I need to repost my thoughts on cloaks from IWS' thread:

Weapon/Flux damage will in no way balance cloaks and will not sate the bloodrage of the QQ masses. Some small numerical changes and fixing the shooting before decloak has finished problem will balance it fine. What needs to happen before ANYTHING else is assault suits getting their stats/slots changes. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS HAS STILL NOT HAPPENED WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE FOR 1.8.

You are in the clear Ghost. AE announced Qsyncing all day today in FW. They ran like small rabbits when we were on the other team. Considering we were giving isk for GGs, fairly lame.

AAAAAANNNNNNDDDD
I just P.O'd all of The Phoenix Federation (At least it seems)
Since you guys know me, please read this and tell me if I actually sound arrogant in this. I try to avoid sounding like that when I post. Here is the thread
My last few posts tried to clarify my thoughts to the raging masses, but I think they are still rather mad.

While on the topic of knife fights Llast, is it considered bad form to watch a knife fight through a sniper scope and shoot the red if he wins after the fight?

I don't ever carry a knife so if you expect a knife fight when you see me it's your own fault if I shoot you. I lvled up NK to 3 only for the scout event and even then only used it till i used up the 20 i bought to try them out.

Event rewards will be sent out early - mid next week.

Corps can be really easy or really hard to set up. If you just try to start a corp from scratch, you'll struggle. If you have a bunch of friends who are already up for being in the corp together, you'll have a much easier time. Otherwise, you're going to need something strong to offer that will actually draw people to you.

You could always go the Duna or CBJ route and invite everyone you ever see and numbers will grow but you'll end up with hundreds of people you don't know and they'll mostly be useless.

As long as you don't shoot the Red while the fight is going on i see no problem with that.



I don't really expect knife fights, they happen if they happen. If someone has Knives out, I figure they may be up for a Knife fight, but plenty of people are not.
Lots of scouts didn't run Knives before 1.8, and now that we have an influx of scouts it's probably even less.

Just observation on Knifers in 1.8

I've yet to see an Amarr scout run Knives (and I do see a few Amarr Scouts)
Only one Cal Scout have I seen run Knives (See a lot of Cal Scouts though)
One Gal so far ( See a lot of Gals with SG though)
And I see less Min than I did before (Not sure where they all went. Cal Maybe?)

If I still had min scout I would have a knife as I am the type that maximize my bonuses. Dropped Min scout for Cal as I still have never lvled up kinkats, cardiac, melee or knives.
I know what kind of scout don't have those right, lol
the same thing i think of scouts that don't have precision, range, dampening to 5
