I would really like to see this implemented:

Being able to recharge and swap ammo while being cloaked might be a good addition to the game for those cloaky gangs. Its a pain when you try to ambush something and you decloak with the wrong ammo type.

What I would love to see is the ability to stack damn items in Cargo containers in your cargo hold and not get "you cannot do that while cloaked".

But yeah, +1 to this idea. If you're cloaked how does it stop you using internal loading mechanisms? I draw the line at activating other modules such as Cap Boosters etc.

I don't see this as being OP or unbalanced. Just a little love for the Wet Paper-Thin Cloaky Tank Pilot Lol

+1 from me as well, kind of kills the cloaky when you have to decloak for 5~10 seconds to reload. and don't even think about the ASB and AAR reload times.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

+1 from me. In addition, I would suggest making recalling scan probes require decloaking. Seems like if someone is on grid they would see 8 probes all returning to a single point...

Especially when someone probes you down while you're doing it. Which is kind of the point. You're vulnerable to perform a necessary task, which is how it should be.

I would really like to see CCP consider this cause in cloaky ships Time in Battle is everything. Once you become visible u should start fighting and not wasting valuable time recharging or swaping ammo.

Its really something many people would apreciate in game none the less.

iirc, you can do that before you hit cloak and the overload ell be there ready and waiting for you.


On another note, I support this suggestion entirely.
Swapping ammo, reloading launchers, etc.

I'm right behind you

That's exactly why it should be possible during cloaking too.

Minus one. Cloaking is already very powerful. Some inconvenience is fine.

Then plan ahead so you're prepared to do that, or accept the reduced damage.

Yes but you have to do it while you cloak, and on some ships you want 5+ diferent modules OHd before you cloak. Point is you dont always have the time/coice to OH just then

what would be cool is if you could switch on OH at will while cloaked
