Question about stealth suite.

[TiMe-ELF]

1)Do you remain invisible when you come close to an enemy (coz the mobile-spawn-station-thingy doesnt)

2)How limited will your weapon slots be? (I only read that you cant have a rifle)

Oh yeah im not a NOOB i just dont know wich empire to join: Vanu (stealthy) or terran (grunty )

[Hatte]

AFAIK you remain completely invisible when u remain still, but as you move, and the faster you move, u become a blur that is more and more visible, only those ppl with the upgrades will see you.

i think stealth suits will be more annoying then snipers, they should nerf the stealth suit wearers ability to fire any weapons without be decloaked for 60 seconds! it's only fair.. otherwise they get to fire and we can see where from... *mimics the complains of everyone against snipers, bringing up the exact same reason they want snipers screwed over*


now on the serious side.. i think they wil be annoying, but it's part of the game, I think stealth suits shuold be feared, as should snipers, but neither force will be 'easily' able to take out anyone solo(even 1v1, due to peoples complaints about snipers).. so i think their usefulness beound scouting will be limited

[TiMe-ELF]

Yeah Hatt, i knew that allready, but my question is: When you stand 3 feet from a guy, do you become visible?

it probably distorts the surroundings(like predator movies), so if the guy notices the area is lookign all screwy he'd probably shoot for ya

I think that the cloak suits will bring something different to the table for PS. Cloak Suits will be just as important as any other armor suit. For people like hackers or pilots or medics.

It would help more to the person that had tooken major experince in one of those departments and didn't have much general battle experience.

Also it's not like someone cloaked can use a riffle of any kind. They are limited to one handgun and their standard knife. So it's not like you'll be taking lancer fire from out of no where.

i know omega =p I was just mimicing peoples complains about snipers.. that ebcause you cant see them they shouldnt be able to hurt someone, even if it's the most powerful infantry-based weapon in the game, heh

As long as there is no shocklance I will be a happy camper no matter what anyone else does.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

I sure wish there was a shocklance

Stealth suits have limited firepower, which means it'll actually take a lot of skill to kill someone while wearing one. Stealth suits are absolutely nothing like being one-shot by someone you didn't even see and couldn't even react to.

That aside, Stealth suits will be fun to fight. They won't have a lot of firepower, so you're going to need to use your head when you're up against them. They'll get their kills through intelligence, so it'll be more of a match of wits than anything.

I concur. With both.

[Marsman]

With limited firepower, Stealth suit wearers are going to have to emply stealth to stay alive. If people notice their comrades suddenly dying around them, they are going to spray the area with lead. Sneakyness and a low profile will be the name of the game if they wish to be successful and effective.
