Player Features and Ideas Discussion

a good solution to solve the permanent AFK cloaking .
but allows for semi AFK cloaking play correctly.

it makes more AFK cloaking is a bit longer skiller.
and now it costs ISK.

1.
I propose instead that the cloaking module consumes
- The fuel is the same as for cyno
- Or cap booster,
- Or nanites,
in function of going to say that it is very energy intensive made or that changes the structure nanite surface of the shell to make it invisible to the scanner


This made the module will automatically limited time
- Either by the hold of the vessel (for fuel)
- Either by the number of charges contained in the module (cap booster, nanite)
fuel consumption or the sizes of cap booster, or the number of nanite consumed at each cycle would depend on the size of vessels.

the max cloaking will therefore depend
- The size of the compartment for the fuel,
- Or the number of load (cap booster nanite) contained in the module,
- And depending on the cycle time of the module cloak.


I think it is necessary to have a long cycle time of about 3 minutes per cycle that leads to a cloak time of 30 minutes with 10 charges
more skill is added Cloaking time (x6) it increases the duration by 20% level is a max length of 6 minutes per cycle with a time of 1 hour max cloaking.

recharge time of the modules will also be taken into account I think a time of 6 minutes to reload
- It is short access to be done anywhere,
- But as long access to the ship is detected by scanning probe fight

this cooldown pourrat also be optimized by a cloaking skill load (x6) will reduce this cooldown by 5% per level which reduces to a max 4 minutes 30 seconds.

He'll also welcome to deploy bubbles with wave decloak the wave timer is de 1 minutes, must also access the wave is distinguished hard for a player who wants to pass between two waves is a doubt.

when a ship goes into the range and the wave is burst y is decloak

small with a range of 75 km
Large TII up with a wide range of 250 km

all cycle times and wave decloak are to optimize on, even if I think I have a good compromise Locate on timer

but I think I have a good data base game, easily integrable with CCP mechanism because all are already used by another module that allows semi AFK cloaking always with players this head-on their screens even though there were several ALT

it also allows servers to saturate CCP account logged totally inactive but which I think should take nothing for resources

Good job. I think this one needs to be stickied.

That idea is not really original and been discuss before, and cloaking already cost isk, when ever you are cloaked afk, you are not gaining any isk, thus you are losing isk, and it already been said that fuel for cloak will just hurt true cloakers in the long run specially the blockade runners.

not to mention with every thread created about cloakers, it always shot down by others saying it balanced cause local exist :P

Well that is new....at least I haven't seen it before.

Fuel has already been proposed, "wave motion anti-cloak fields" have already been proposed.

I put the links there for a reason, click them, edjumacate yourself.

But cloaks are ok

Justify your point of view good sir.

Maybe the people screaming they're broken and need fixing should justify their points of view. They're the ones making claims of it being broke, after all.

But just for fun, cloaks are balanced because the ships that fit them have built in nerfs, targeting delays, paper thin tanks, pitiful dps, etc. Cloaked vessels are also literally incapable of doing anything to anyone. As for AFK cloaked players, they are not even worth talking about, anyone who is AFK - whether they're docked, cloaked, or in an unscannable or super fast inty burning off into nowhere - are nothing. They can't hurt anyone, they can't help anyone, they can't anything. The minute they do something they're not AFK, so can we stop bloody including "AFK" in these kinds of topics? Anyway, the only thing accomplished by sitting cloaked in a system is to reduce the ridiculously beneficial intel provided by local (for literally zero effort or risk) from 100% perfect to only 99% perfect.

Your turn.

Bump....

And some blasts from the past,

POS Decloaking Array (2011)
Idea for a cloak counter (2011)--A ship module that can send out "a system wide pulse that disrupts cloaking fields".
Nerf AFK Cloaking (2011) This one has pretty much all of the suggestions--POS Module, cloak timer, cloak fuel, special scan probes.
