How do you think an all cloaker outfit would work?

[Jaged]

I have decided to start a all colaker outfit. I already have one member. I just wanted to know what people thought of this idea. Of course, we will use jammers to counter DL. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, if you want to join, we are on NC markov. I made a post in the recruiting forum: http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9795

I think...if you were all in a CC and I was there with my darklight and my Lasher your cloacker your squad won't last long....

But it could work if you have a cloacker medic with you, that would be top priority

[WildEagle]

and an engy for mines and stuff

[Jaged]

Of course we will have a medic. That will definately help.

And I am a combat engy

[ZionsFire]

When we have amps and mags you wouldnt last long:P~

Well if you have at least 2 medics in a squad and one engineer and the others are armed with AMP's or Repeater or MagScatter you should be ok methinks

[Jaged]

And a few ninjas with all jammers and a knife to counder DL.

[NightWalker XI]

Nope you don't want Jammers...I have to kill you remember :doh: :huh: :lol:

[Jaged]

How so?

Imagine 10 people doing that togther. That would simply pwn. :D

I think it will work in a lot of situations, but in the ones where it doesn't, it will be very ugly.

Well said.

I think the best thing to do would be to set a requirement on your Outfit: Infiltration Cert required to join. This way, you can get your all cloaker outfit without having to having to force people to be infil all the time. Depending on the circumstances, though, you'd easily be able to pull off the 10 invisible MAXs scenario still. :cool:

Atm id Say sure good idea

But it has a few flaws

Every now and then it seems people can see me easy without darklight when im sitting still..not moving...at all...not reloading..equiping..fiddling with inventory...etc

Would be funny watching a load of cloaked infils run up behind a Clamped down TR MAX place a load of boomers and giggle as it gets blown to bits :)

[BloodWulfe]

You would have to be very, very skilled, but I could see it being a lot of fun. :)

Just remember to keep your holster empty if you run a lot. That's a dead giveaway to see an AMP flashing on your hip.

And decloak when you enter the CC, lest some trigger happy guy with DL blasts you.

And that knife does 17/8 and 42/8 damage without melee booster, and 42/8 and 67/8 with melee booster.

And that crouching makes you less visible then walking, and they are about the same speed (I'm pretty sure they are... even if they aren't it isn't really noticeable.)

And that melee booster doesn't drain stamina until you swing, so there's no reason not to have it on always.

:love:

I've been contemplating the same thing. I'd be very interested to join your outfit it's on Markov right? I've been thinking that teams of 5 with 2 Combat Engineers, 2 Adv. Medics, and 1 Adv. Hacker per team. Travel around in a Deliverer or get each member to pick up a Wraith. You'd be able to hack bases with Engineers scouting and planting mines to defend entry points. Keep medics out of sight to revive any fallen team mates. A squad of 10 could hack several areas at once. It would be ideal.

I dont think thats the point and i dont even get the invisible max part. Besides there isn't anything you cant do exept for repair equipment in stealth suit. Jammers > Darklighters, mines, boomers, and turrets for a short legth of time. Frags for anything armored, and plasmas for spawns and other non-max armors.

I've defended CCs solo alot. The longest i held a squad from a CC was two nights ago for almost 2 hours. They had a max DL and combat engi AA DL. I had an ams. Plus i'd hack the tower when the base was being overrun and vice versa. A squad of seasoned infils. IMHO can have there way just like anybody else.

I key would be finess and timing. Of course there is no limitation on vehicles a stealther can use so. They could use them to supplement force outside. I got ams = moble spawn point and reaver = nothing more to be said. Which is really all a cloaker needs aside from the suit and loadout. My solo markov character has infil and reaver. br5 or something. I rarely play there. But thoughs two certs. It's enough to get me into zerging towers np. I can still hack CCs it just takes freakin forever.

As it is now when i've come across other ninja hacker on the same mission. I let them hack it. Cuz after all it's really just a repair bitch job. I like to cover. Start shit with soldeirs coming up. You only gotta beat the darklighters once. After that they are on a implant active timer. Makes dealing with the spawns alot easier.

I'd be down if you did this on a different server besides markov or emerald Jaged. Dont really care what empire. Cuz i'm common pool anyway.

Anybody else can say well i'll use this shit, that shit in a fight against cloakers...??? Well myself and probably any other skilled infil could give a crap.

[Searo]

Jag, I think I'm gonna create a second Character on Markov just to join this outfit. Looks awesome, and even a Lagger can be an Infiltrator.

[SpaceDrake]

Something like this already exists.

However, until now I have never seen any interest expressed in it beyond my own. It may say "US East", but I'm willing to play/lead on any server where there is interest. If you'll stealth, I shall too.
