This sounds like a serious nerf to solo roaming.
I am quite a new player, and play for PvP. Having only just reached a point where I can fly a Recon I am concerned to learn that the enjoyment I have recently found in solo roaming is likely to dissapear.
I can't imagine any other reason to implement this other than encouraging T3 ship use with their bubble immunity. But that rather feels like breaking a whole bunch of other ship types simply to promote a ship that should never have been introduced.
Astounded really, what will the point be in flying recons/cov-ops if they can't evade a camp? It's not like it's a certainty atm and managing it succesfully requires some skill and the willingness to risk your ship.
Would be very nice to see some CCP feedback on their intentions here.

CCP... would be nice to have some feedback on this so the player base has some foresight of your intentions. Surely it wouldn't take this number of days to respond with either...
"Yes, we are testing an idea to change the mwd cloak"
Or
"No, something weird happened while we tested something else"
I figure a quick shout across the dev office and a two line post could clear the subject up, or open it up for feedback in fairly short order.

CCP? can we get a Dev comment in here stating what exactly was the intended change and if you are aware that this effects all modules not just ECM ?
Quote:
If a ship cloaks, all active modules that modify attributes, such as ECM, will stop immediately and the icons showing the effect will disappear.
GG CCP killing whole classes of ships with one ill conceived idea that didn't even make it to this forum.

The irony of this when considered alongside the recent efforts to make Black-ops viable is creating some serious overload...
Who... exactly, is gonna take the cyno through the camp now?

First thing I did on logging in was try my Rapier. It feels heavier I think as a result of the agility, but not a huge difference. When I decloak after jump I am trying the following.
Select a celestial
Hit align
Spam MWD (seems to take a second or two to kick in)
Hit cloak
Speed with MWD before cloak hits maybe 500m/s and drops really fast getting me maybe 2km away from my original decloak point moving at 300m/s (ish). Considering the distance I have moved and the distance required to decloak a ship it leaves me pretty vulnerable. Testing this with an dictor pilot friend gets me decloaked maybe 50% of the time by his dictor burning from 0 off the gate, and still within the radius of a bubble. Feedback from him is that after gate decloak I am visible for a couple seconds while I try and spam MWD (seems to be a significant delay) before cloaking, that couple of seconds is long enough for him to get my exact direction of travel from the tactical overlay. I can only guess at how bad this percentage will be with several inties/frigs at a gate.
Recons for sure got broken.
Rollback and rethink this, discuss it with community like you should have done and this could have been avoided.
