Is it time to nerf cruise disruptors?

[Greylock]

Remove it's ability to disrupt charging cloaks. At best. The rest should be kept as it is.

Right now - cruise disruptor is a versatile auxiliary weapon filling quite a few roles, a little overpowered with the consideration of the issue mentioned above, namely - the disruption of charging cloaks, which is a bit too much. Yet, i can and i will argue with the rest: cruise disruptors have been fitting that role for a very long time, and the times any sort of "balance issues" with these have been raised - such threads have never got anywhere.
Yes, i took a moment to skim through the past threads mentioning cruise disruptors. Half of them have been involving removing cruise disruptors from NPCs, the other one - possible ways to "nerf" the weapon that isn't broken and overpowered as it is. Except the ability to disrupt charging cloaks.

To sum it up - cruise disruptors should have little to no changes, with the exception of necessary removal of their ability to disrupt charging cloaks.

Hey do you guys remember when Corile killed Haste by effectively using Mosq CD's and the next day all CD's lost 20 points of ammo and it was suddenly near impossible to pin a intercepted target down because of all the bugs that CD's + CM's have alongside their new low ammo limits?

That was a good change wasn't it. For everyone who didn't want to fight or be caught that is. It's been brought up several times here already, but it bears repeating.

This is idea is bad, has been attempted before, and was reverted because it was terrible.

I'm going to keep quoting this because it's a perfect summary of the logic that's constantly applied as a justification for such a change. CDs do not need to be changed. If people keep suggesting silly changes then I'm just going to keep quoting Sean until the thread eventually gets locked.

What I have so kindly highlighted in red applies to removing the ability to disrupt charging cloaks. We wouldn't want to have a battleship cloak in the middle of a fight and decloak behind the enemies, would we?
