Infiltration Status

Spork posted this.

We have spent some time looking at the various issues associated with the Infiltration Suit. Our Programmers and Designers have been working to resolve these issues for a future update. Here some information to help prepare you for what�s to come.

Bug Fixes
- Items in the pistol holster will no longer be more visible.
- Hotswapping items will no longer cause infiltrators to become more visible.
- The Infiltration Status Icon will function properly, giving a visual indicator of how �cloaked� a player is.

Tweaks
- The nature of the Empire-specific Infiltration Suit models caused some suits to be more visible than others. We have adjusted parameters for each Empire to compensate for this.
- The level of visibility for sustained actions has been increased. These actions include using a REK, BANK and Medical Applicator.
- Levels of visibility have been honed for each of the different actions that an Infiltrator can take � running, walking, crouch-walking, jumping, shooting, etc. Further, the level of visibility has been adjusted to account for multiple simultaneous actions, such as jumping and shooting.
- Players who are walking and crouch walking will no longer show up on the Mosquito's overflight radar. While this is not specific to Infiltrators, it is something that is intended to help them significantly.

Other
- Infiltrators will remain cloaked when they mount a vehicle, but will be partially visible as long as they occupy the seat. This adjustment does not apply to the wraith, which will remain fully invisible when sitting still, and become more visible at higher speeds.
- Most of what is listed above will be a part of the update after the current update on Public Test. The Mosquito Overflight ability is currently live. After these go live, there is one more adjustment we have to make afterward:

The Future
- The Silent Run Implant will cancel out the Infiltrator�s radar signature. This will not be a part of the upcoming update, but will enter development following it.

Through these updates, we are hoping to enhance the Infiltrator's power behind the scenes of the battle. If there's an item that is not covered, please let us know through this thread.
