<div class="IPBDescription">happy happy happy! joy joy joy!</div> me am wuvs the new cloaking! w00t! w00t! w00t!

... w00t.

Anyhoo, I do like it. I love how fast it cloaks you up at level 3, and I think it's a heck of a lot better at level 1 than it was before. I heard lots of wondering about the 90% cloak, but IMHO, it's fine. It's better'n fine, it makes me Happy! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I wonder about the cloak thing "blinking" near the marine base... on... off... on... off... But then I thought it must be part of the nano-gridlock thingy. It will certianly keep me from hiding cloaked in the marine's base, That's for sure! The sound of me cloaking and re-cloaking would surely give my transparent arse away every time! (Unless of course I had silence too... hmmmmmm!)

Anyhoo, good job! Lookin forward to more playin!

    If you blink near the marine base it's because there is an obs. in it.

    Sorry, disagree bigtime.

    90% cloak aint good enough.

    As SOON as the marines realise you have cloak, they will be on the alert - and that is where 90% cloak becomes as good as no bloody cloak at all.


    Marines with their flashies on will check every corner with slightly more care than before, and shoot if they so much as SUSPECT something is there...and there is a good chance you will be spotted while the marine group is still walking up to you - in which case gg.


    Don't get me wrong - I can still use and kill stuff - and the speed increase is handy - but it really is not serious option. The risk of being seen makes it just not acceptable, even compared to old cloak. With old cloak you could sit in somewhere you wanted to guard and be guaranteed your ambush would have some degree of success....

    - but -

    Even this *guarantee* wasn't good enough to make anyone give up defense or movement.
    So how could something that is even less viable possibly do so?

    Well Daemonlaud, if the marines are then bieng careful (extremely paranoid) they won't be as speedy when getting to hives.
    and you should be sneakier .... <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> hehehehehe
