At the very least an active Cloak should not be pocketable, allowing it to be countered by things like flashbangs and wet floors.
I could've sworn they made cloaks unpocketable a while ago. Did they switch it back? I was always nervous using the thing because I was never sure whether or not it worked in my backpack.

It was switched back to allowing you to put cloaks back in your pocket... Don't know why, as now the only thing that can disrupt a cloaker is a t-ray scanner (for like 1/10 a second) or a flashbang.
Flashes don't disrupt anymore, as previously said

its always rad when things change without announcement / get changed back without announcement

Perhaps there could be certain objects on the station that mess with the thermals a bit, so someone who needs a quick getaway could throw a flare or something and have the detective be partially blinded by red light for a little while.

I think the vulnerability to Flashes is a pretty big disadvantage. The main problem with Thermals IMO is how it lets the user see and examine people without the examinee being any the wiser. In situations where you can throw something at the user or whatever Thermals are not an advantage, unless you're a Cloaker of course.

I actually find thermals much better balanced on cogsmap. On shroom they were terrible. The station felt much thinner and far more streamlined, so a guy with thermals could see almost everything strolling the halls. This is not at all the same with cogsmap.
On shroom, I was all for nerfing them. But now they feel much more manageable.

Maybe pocketing an active cloak should just cloak your uniform.

Either go naked or buy two cloakers if you want a full cloak.

If possible, someone could make cloaks make everything invisible EXCEPT whatever the cloaker is holding. That way, you can still actually fight/disarm him, and he still gets to be stealthy when he wants to.
