But they are available. The suit is 2, engineering is 3, combat engineering is 2. You're good to go. Admittedly it becomes even more fun once you can jack somebody's tank and drive it away, or steal the AMS they just parked, or pop into existence in a MAX suit, but just the suit with combat engineering should be enough to tell you whether or not cloaking is for you. Ain't nothing like it.

I respectfully disagree. IMHO, I believe that too be a truly great cloaker, the character needs at least a major mixture of:

Infiltration Suit
Engineering
Combat Engineering
Hacking
Advanced Hacking
Air Cavalry
Tactical Support

[Morrik]

Wait, don't you need advanced hacking to hack equipment terminals?

Infiltration Suit - 2
Hacking - 3
Advanced Hacking - 3
Max Config (Usually Infantry Config) - 3

Hmm, you're actually right!

I didn't say that the infil suit and combat engineering is all you need. I said the infil suit and combat engineering is all you need to decide if cloaking is for you. Advanced hacking is almost a given, beyond that it truly comes down to your play style. Ninja advanced medic? Tactical support (one of my standards) so you can drive away in the AMS you just jacked? Air Cavalry to do sneaky missions with the mossy and actually fight with the reaver? Medium Tank so that you can slaughter the people repairing their ride and jack it and drive off?
I agree it takes more certs to make the infil everything it's supposed to be. It doesn't take too many to be able to get a good taste for it.

Meh, I suppose that when I'm boiled down to the essentials I'm just a moderately arrogant perfectionist.

Being a cloaker can be very fun, or very frustrating. You have to ignore all the friendly crossfire killing you over and over, you have to ignore the fact that SOE will never fix a bug related to cloaking or even do anything to aid cloaking, and you have to except that most people above BR 6 have Dark Light. Fun things how ever, having Silent Run and running around watching your friendlies crouch everywhere, throwing jammers in a minefield as an enemy vehicle crosses it, OSing a convoy of vehicles, EMP blasting a CY, sending a tell to an enemy to wait for him to stop playing and start typing so you can move in for the kill, going back to a base that you just lost and order an Orbital Strike on all the enemies as they TK each other, and last but not least...hacking an enemy Tank in the middle of a crouded CY killing all those little enemies. My favorite is the Vangaurd. TheN00b, I have all of that. One of the main reasons I use the skeeter is to perform my own drop, on any place I want, like sometimes when my OS is gone I'll drop above a vehicle pad just lobbing plasmas before I hit. I've done this dozens of times and never gotten bellow 3 kills.

Nothing is more satisfying than hacking an AMS then running all the enemies over with it.

[Otherick]

well seeing as u guys say "The Cloaker got infront of you" why not "You got behind the Cloaker"

poor buggers, they dont have any armour and you guys put them down even more, its enough to make a guy cry

Wow, that almost wants to make me go with the cloaking! I wouldn't do that /tell thing though... *g*
