We get to see all ships play their role and demonstrate their abilities well in most AT matches,...

however all ships designed to cloak / bombers and coverts ect never get to use the cloak and showcase the ability of stealth for a very good reason

So ...... (and looking to next year) would it be possible to give these specific ships 10 seconds / 20 seconds at the start of a match to cloak and move into position after which they may not cloak again.... or make a new AT cloak, simply change the code so that you cant cloak again for longer then the match length and introduce a cycle time so that after 10 / 20 seconds the ship auto uncloaks....

It would add a new dynamic and bring back some use for bombers (so easy to kill these days)

i like the idea that you allow cloaks, but all ships with a cloak fit count as destroyed at the end of the match

Cloaks are only useful when people don't know you're there or to escape. This is a stupid idea because it is know those people are there, and you can't "escape" anywhere or warp within the arena to reposition. Therefore they serve no use.

you can reposition slightly, but,, its not about warping away its to do with bombers being very useless against a number of drones weapons


so not loosing them by being able to cloak for 10 seconds at the start = giving them a chance to do something within a fight and show casing their abilities as most other frigs will have some way of helping to avoid damage, Inites with sig and speed, afs with tank .. and so on,.
