Upon server restart, the following changes to cloaks will be going live:
Light Cloaking Device
- Warmup time increased from 10 seconds to 20 seconds.
- Fuel consumption rate reduced from 4 to 2. (Cloak duration doubled)
Cloaking Device Mk II
- Fuel consumption rate reduced from 4 to 2. (Cloak duration doubled)
Snubcraft and Gunboat cloaks will now last around eight minutes where they previously lasted for only four. In addition, snubcraft cloaks now take longer to charge, as previously their warmup time was so short that players were forced to "spam" cruise disruptors any time an opponent with a light cloak got deshielded, as it was otherwise very difficult to tell - in time - if they were charging their cloak.
The aim of these changes is to make these two cloaks more effective in use.
