Add a short cooldown to the traitor invisability cloaker.

[Scrumpys]

Cause the nerf it already has is enough. Hardly anyone uses it as it is, then one guy complains about it and you want to nerf it further. Please refrain from insults I don't intend to insult anyone else or to attack their opinion. I was a little frustrated because from my point of view you guys add new content and then when your out of ideas you got on a nerfing crusade and nerf something to oblivion. Also please explain how it is a exploit and how you feel instead of justify why it needs another nerf without calling people names. I use to think you nice and could get your point across without needless insults.

Coding does things to you
What you may perceive as knee-jerk nerfs are really things that were deemed too powerful for minimal effort long before, we just got around to it then. See also: custom medborg infini-hell patches.
The cloaker is one of these things. It's an item which has exactly two hard counters on the entire station, one possessed by a whitelisted job, the other possessed by a job that has no less chance of being traitor than anyone else. All other counters, including all the ones you brought up, are extremely situational. On the other hand, the cloaker gives you an instant escape mechanism and an unparalleled opportunity at a first strike at someone - which is all you need to take them out, really. Couple this with some quirks of the engine (it actually can take up to two seconds to become visible when your cloak is interrupted due to Dumb) and the ability to quickly reactivate the thing with the press of three buttons in the right order and you effectively circumvented the last nerf, with the only downside being your ID name being announced repeatedly.

This change would only complement the last nerf for it to actually take effect. I wouldn't compare this to quickly reloading guns. I'd compare this to bug abuse.

It doesnt completely circumvent the last nerf, you still cant beat people to death while invisible. I think itd be better to add more thermals, but it looks like your mind is made up. The cloaker will probably need to be removed eventually if things keep going the way they are.
