Regen+cloaking

I never even thought to ask.... I assume it was meant this way. Cloaking blinks on and off while regeneration is taking effect right? It'd be great if that changed because you figure regen in essence does the same as going back and standing next to your hive or other buildable object. Why then are those who use regen punished by forcing them to be visible while regen is in use? claoking has certainly saved my gestating-self many a time but if you have regen really you can only go invisible once before you attack and as soon as you begin attacking forget about cloaking helping out until your full health again.

    Umm...last time I checked, cloaking was not disabled while regenerating. As far as I recall, only time you "blink" if you are cloaked is if the commander has initiated a scan of the area and you are caught in the scan or if an observatory is within scanning range. But from what I know, you ain't supposed to blink and have your cloak disabled each time you regenerate.

    I'm with sky on this one, I never recall seeing myself uncloak while regenerating.

    Wow maybe I was glitching then cause I wasn't even aware of it until my teamates pointed it out and then thats what it seemed. Hmmm I'll have to look into this some more, maybe it was a glitch in one of our servers....some of the servers aren't exactly known for their reliability.

    My guess is that you were near an observatory.

    anyway, I figure that cloaking is bad with regen anyway, unless you have silence as well.

    It isn't the best of ideas. A couple of nights I was playing combat and heard a regening alien but couldn't see one.

    I pumped my shottie at each corner of the corridor I was in and the last drew green blood. One more shot at skulk, which I presume was too shocked to move, and it fell to the ground <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    i like ussing the two together, fun, and from what i see, regan doesn't take it off, so check your server <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo-->

    well the gulps of the regen really is bad for your stealth, so you might as well stay upgradeless if you don't take one of the two other upgrades. That, of course, is not counting silence <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
