I can see it now...

A BH tracks a Jedi to Dantooine. The Jedi is spinning bols in a grind group. The BH sneaks up on his mark... but walks past him. He stands inside the lair and then squats down. The BH then targets the Jedi, uncloaks and starts blasting. Since there are other ranged people shooting blasters all over the place... how long do you think it will take the Jedi to realize that he is being attacked by a BH? All you have to do is not use KD's and roots until the Jedi is about to go down. He will think it is the Bols kicking his butt all of a sudden...

No camo doesnt break, there's certain ways to move around cloaked as it says in the original Ranger update news post but i am not sure if this will work in the wild as well (for sure in urban areas at higher level.)

Also there's nothing stated about it going to break in 20m of contact.

Holographic Environment Projector- At the Master Skill Box of the profession, a ranger is given a Holographic Environment Projector schematic. With it, the ranger can craft a device that allows them to become invisible and move about in an urban environment. This projector does not work in the wilds, as there is too much random visual noise in nature that the electronics of this device cannot anticipate sufficiently to provide an adequate optical illusion of invisibility. Crafting this item uses the Camouflage skill mod for both assembly and experimentation.

The H.E.P has a power source with a maximum capacity determined by one of the experimentation lines. The power rating essentially determines how many seconds the H.E.P functions before shutting down. Once the device is shut down, it instantly recharges the power cell. When this happens, the maximum power level is permanently reduced by a small amount. Eventually the H.E.P power cells become degraded to a point where they can no longer power the device and it must be replaced. Shutting down the device before it is completely drained will preserve more of the power capacity than if one were to allow the cells to drain completely.

The second experimentation line for this device determines the effectiveness of the H.E.P. The effectiveness of the H.E.P is compared to the effectiveness of a Chaff Flare that might be deployed around a stealthy ranger in an attempt to uncover him. More effective H.E.Ps will stand up better against Chaff Flares, but will last for shorter periods of time.

This is for urban invisibility. This will be at the Master level.

Stealth & Subterfuge

Stealth skills will facilitate concealed locomotion at a reduced movement rate (IE sneaking). Stealth attempts have a higher chance of failure if the Ranger has not been previously camouflaged. If you have not been previously camouflaged, a camouflage kit is required for being stealthy. The exception to this rule is stealth in an urban setting, which is facilitated by a Holographic Energy Projector. (See above).

During stealth, periodic checks are made that may render the ranger visible. Thus, caution must be exercised when one moves about. For instance, sneaking into a building whilst disguised as a tree (as one is, when camouflaged) would immediately expose the ranger, for example.

Various planet specific camouflage kits are granted throughout this skill tree.
