Cloak adjusting.

[FallenKnight]

I had another addition to my proposal in post 26:

1) All official military/pirates factions to receive a free "perk" to own and use cloaks
2) If a certain official factions fail to use the equipment due to many times being reported to abuse it and bring negativity - then that perk should be removed for 3 months.
3) After the 3 month period - faction regains its cloak for 1 month and if fails to use it properly - 6 months penalty and warning

Considering the current stance of official factions - their new official separated IDs and the Perk system - it would be very easy to remove cloaks from abusers (if they are official factions). As for the indies - they will have free cloaks for very little time (example: VHF - 30 sec, Gb - 1min, CR -2min and BB -3min).

The lack of responsibility from indies is causing many problems but look at this: If official "captain" from [LN] fails to use cloak - the char will be inRP denied to use it and if he does will be in violation of RP laws, punished and rank reduced....so the player in this example would do his best to benefit most from a cloak without abusing it. Now take the example the opposite way - Indie captain abusing cloak and was told by [LN] official not to do "this" and "that"...the indie captain laughs, cloaks and run away to continue bring havoc cuz he is "indie" and can do whatever he desires.

I doubt officials would dare to use cloaks in abusive ways - it was always coming out from indies (those that are senseless, not those that care for RP) - so the best way to handle cloaks is to separate them per groups, so once a certain group does an abusive action and was reported multiple times - it will be denied the possibility to use cloak. As for indies - if they continue to abuse their "limited" cloaks - would be far more simple and easier for the devs to crush them with the nerf hammer - leaving officials who are not the problem away from it. Players need to be responsible and if they are not - their toys to be either removed or nerfed. But punishing all players (entire server) because a minor group of trolls abuse cloaks is not solution.
