I had a 30 minute fight with a jedi today. Still not sure what his template was as he managed to defeat me during the second half of the fight.
It is possible that my mark did not use the cloak to its full extent, but here is the story...
I head out toward my mark in the desert. 140m out in go prone and cover. He and his buddies are busy with a lair. After a lot of crawling (ugh) i get to just outside my 75m range.... and poof, he cloaks and he's buddies fan out and uncover me... somehow he knew almost exactly whereI was. So I stand up and wait for my seeker to update again. He is close by and even says "hi" to me. He eventually uncloaked (ready finaly) so i bow to him and then shoot. We begin a long kiting battle and after about 15 minutes he cloaks and runs. I launch a seeker and pull out my bike. I tail him for a while, and then realize that I can keep up without the bike... so i store it. He is on foot, so I will be too! My seeker has no problem keeping tabs on him. I figure he is regening, but if I stay close I know I'm costing at least some force. I also know he cannot get away since he will have to uncloak to shuttle. He finally uncloaks and we begin again. Another 10 minutes and my action is gone and I have to hope for a couple good kd's which don't happened and he finally incaps me.
I don't really care to lose and the cloak ability is indeed very powerful. But I believe with better preparation on my part I could kill him next time. A new rifle with lower SAC and better food combo's and not using all my stomach up front.
The biggest problem i see with cloak is the 3 day mission decay. Give us more time to stalk the ones that have good "get away" skills. Give us 1 to 3 weeks to really get to know them and leave the skills alone.
Good luck out there!
