Okay my impression is the AUR items are sold back at the increased percentage and not that using AUR increases your overall market sellback priceGǪ correct?

Also, I really don't care for the range reduction while cloaked.

If they have concerns for shared passives while cloaked, I would rather they just remove shared passives altogether.

Otherwise, they should just come out and say they don't like slaying while cloaked and at least be honest.

As it stands, my hacking capacity will be severely diminished as I have no defensive options, particularly around CRUs with Reds spawning in. Fan-freaking-tastic.

I hope it all works out for the best in the end, but I don't look forward to it.

Hacking will be a little more dangerous but I don't think this is a big change. Installation hacking won't be much different as the enemy still won't see you. It will just be risky escaping once the hack is done.

Objective hacking will be interesting. I imagine it would be better to decloak first as the enemy knows where you are anyway. However you do loose that extra second it takes people to target you whilst cloaked and hacking, so I don't know.

* Decreased Mercenary Quarters dropsuit front view distance.

Decreased view distance. does that mean I see more of my dropsuit, or is it zoomed in so I see less?

Not too worried myselfGǪ
Remember when we used to hack **** slower and without cloaks.. and the Installations broadcast your position to everybodyGǪ hell we did it then we can still do it now.
Though i will be bringing back my left and right RE drop before i start hacking a CRU in that little out of reach crookGǪ come get me fatty go ahead

No more getting sniped at Alpha on Manus Peak at the beginning of a match!

I like the changes to the existing maps, we will see how that plays out.

Also, congrats on the Deca+1 posts spade. I don't know what the prefix for that is.

I'm sure you'll find a way to check out your butt either way

I have recently tried out my Amarr Templar Hvy..... And I kinda liked it..... The temptation with the new Quafe Heavy suits coming out to be a giant purple people eater is far, far too much for me to resist. I'll probably decide once I see which suit has more bling and bedazzlement factor to it, but any advantages to go with one race's heavy suit over another? I could be wrong, but they all seem pretty balanced and equal to each other.

I'm not terribly worried about the upcoming changes, though granted, I haven't run the math yet to see what an 85% reduction in scan range brings the cloaked scan range to.

For CRUs, I'd say still hack it cloaked, reasons as followed. Enemy does not know where you are for one. For another, if someone does spawn in behind you, they should spawn so close as to show up on the radar. Even just a quick pirouette in place should show people, without revealing your position. Also, if you do a sweep from side to side, you "should" pick up any reds near your sights that are outside of a cloaked radar range. Unless the new changes affect that too.

For hacking points, I still advocate the buddy/sacrificial lamb system. One person (scout or something) cloaked, one uncloaked. I can't tell you how many times either I've been able to hack, or counterhack a point because the reds kill the uncloaked person, but missed me until it was too late. I've also been surprised by that same situation, but in reverse. Kill what I think is the only hacker, only to see the point still flashing.

If I can stealth kill people with nova knifes, while wearing a pink minja quafe suit, no cloak, I'm pretty confident I can still mess with people pretty good once this update rolls around. Besides, this will probably work out nicely for my ADV cloak. I'm thinking (and hoping) that when I need to drop the cloak to let it recharge, it'll be the perfect time to scan for reds. Keep doing like I normally do, run cover to cover, recharge cloak somewhere between 1/2-3/4 so I constantly have a cloak available, and see how this all works out.

I am kinda excited about all suits getting an armor rep. Now my minnie scout might be more viable as nowadays I tend to run with 2x complex dampeners in the lows. This opens up options for me!

I do have a question on a different topic for ya'll, since the Barbershop seems to be more, civilized than most of the rest of the forums.

On the skill refunds - is it per tree or all or nothing? Not sure from my initial read.

Complete refund of all skill points into your unallocated pool.

Question about the ridiculous cloak nerf/buff- does the 85% reduction to signature profile mean that the cloak now reduces our scan profile by 85%? If so, then I wholeheartedly think that that is stupid. 25% should be the max, ever. Even with a ridiculous 85% scan range nerf, this doesn't account for the fact that scouts will not need to put ANYTHING in their lows to dampen, which is outrageous IMO.

Unless, of course, we make up for this by using range amps to replace the ridiculous nerf.

It should be a 50% reduction to range AT MOST, 25% being much more reasonable. Dampening should be 10-25% at all tiers.

Seriously, the cloak will now be worthless to equip. Unless we get more dampening or invisibility from it, I want a fuckin refund from my scout suit. If you're gonna bow down to 3 people creating alts to whine in general discussions, then the scout will never be good.

Oh well, I already have proto min assault with the SP were getting/have gotten from the sidearm event.

Gallente advantage: A stupid amount of pink.

If the commando and sentinel colour schemes are anything to go by, then it should be a crapload of pink/purple/whatever that damned colour is.

Except for Corporation skills.
