With the new changes to cloaking coming I am wondering what everyone else thinks of the ship bonus'.
First of all: my -recon- ship doesn't get any bonus to recon. Covert operations gets a bonus to scanning, recon doesn't.
Alright. So now I can create a cyno field for less fuel then normal. Better so, I can cloak and sit there on top of the cyno-field (because I cannot move for the next 5 minutes) and can easily be probed out. And with a lone person in local and a cyno field, it is in my humble opinion very likely to be probed. And found without movement.
What does everyone else think?

Cyno fields are announced system wide when you place them and they appear on the overview - that's why they're referred to as gank beacons.
The ability to probe cloaked ships should not be too much of an issue if you keep moving while cloaked.

Yes, of course. Not that you can move with an active cyno field generated.

As long as you aren't AFK being probed shouldn't be a problem.
If you are AFK, moving reduces the chances of it being a problem because by the tme someone warps in (assuming they get a 0m result) you'll be far enough away to not get decloaked in a direction that the prober is unable to determine without probing you successfully again.

Force recon could use a somewhat better bonus to cyno fields. 50% doesn't cut it. 90% or 95% would be a lot better.

I agree with changing something about the cyno time on recons. a ship with a cov op cloak being stuck in place for 5 min, usually in hostile territory is just a nightmare. I know getting the capitals in may be well worth it but it's just suicide atm.

The point is that you -cannot- move! Cyno prevents you from moving. And no matter that your precious force recon has a cloak, it's not going to help because you're stuck and can easily be probed out.
As mentioned by the person above this post, it is suicide and a strange combination of bonus. Or just plain bad ones in my opinion.

At the present time, the cloak nerf is NOT happening. CLoaking will work the same in Revelations 2 as it does now.

The point is that you obviously have no clue at all about the game mechanics involved.
- when you have the cyno not activated you can cloak, move, warp just as you want to. Even if you could probe cloaked ships (which as was said won't happen for rev 2) you won't get probed sucessfully if you are not afk.
- when you have the cyno activated you cannot move and you also cannot cloak. And nooone needs to probe your ship then because everyone can warp to an active cyno!
