I am going to break this down into parts as I see it, educate me if I am incorrect on anything:
Comment made by CCP "If a ship that is being targeted, and cloaks, the lock will now guarantee the uncloak effect occurs"
#1 MY SHIP<<------ATTEMPTING TO TARGET<<------ENEMY
#2 (MY SHIP CLOAKS)<<--------STILL ATTEMPTING TARGET<<------ENEMY
#3 (MY SHIP CLOAKED)<<--------LOCKED<<--------ENEMY can see me, I die.
I am not going to pretend to be an expert Covert Ops Pilot but, they are talking about the "EFFECT" of not being cloaked. Two things bother me about this situation.
1) If you are being targeted I thought you couldn't cloak, lock or not, if they were attempting, you couldn't use your cloak? (TRUE or FALSE)
2) "EFFECT" to me can be the "VISUAL EFFECT" and "THE PHYSICAL EFFECT" of being cloaked/not cloaked. Which of the two is CCP refering to?
3) If my first question is TRUE, then there sounds as if there was a "VISUAL EFFECT" bug. When activating the cloaking device it only worked visually (your ship can't be seen) but in reality your ship is locked and you are "word meaing Fornication Under Consent of the King"ED.
4) If question 1 is FALSE, and you can cloak whether someone is attempting a lock or you are locked, and the "EFFECT" is physical, then CCP has nerfed the abilities of a cloaking ship.
I have always hated how they never follow traditional Scifi shows in regards to cloaks. Damn, the Romulans (STAR TREK) have been using cloaking devices for centuries. "Cloak & Go" has been a popular Romulan slogan throughout the Empire. You run into trouble, cloak and get the hell out of dodge!!!!!
How much more is CCP going to break the poor Covert Pilot's b@!!s? I mean the poor guys barely get laid as it is being cloaked all the time. Sleeping every night with their Covert Ops Cloaking Device T2 in fear of getting killed and having to buy another 60 Million isk module.
Someone had mentioned a petition thread? If you find it please post it in this thread as well, spread the word!!!!! Cloaking is already nerfed, let's not turn it into an official "NERF" product.
