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.


1.1 with charge (cap booster or nanite)
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.


1.2 Fuel (Liquid Ozone 0.4 m3/unit)this is more restrictive than the other

I propose one fuel by 10,000 m3
- Either for a frigate between 2 and 3 of fuel per cycle of 2 minutes, between 2 hours and 4 hours cloak
- For a battle cruiser between 22 and 28 per fuel cycle of 2 minutes between 1h30 and 2h30
- For black ops between 41 and 48 fuel by 2 minutes between 1:30 and 2:30

with the skill Cloaking fuel optimisation (x8) it increases the cycle duration by 10%,

solution (cap booster or nanite) can do much more than short cloaking
with a long cooldown that can scan between each vessel cloak
or
solution allows fuel to make cloaking longer without recharging by cons, as it consumes fuel at the same cyno, the player must pay attention to fuel remaining if they want to their hot drop.


for me the best solution is the cloaked module with cap charge (75 for fregate, 200 for cruise and bc, 800 for BS)

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

OP.... good god man. There is a thread on this page with links to just the same, ridiculously ill informed ideas as yours. It's obvious you did not even read the threads links and see what the cause for AFKing is.

I don't do this normally, but if you cannot be bothered to even search that thread and understand the actual cause, then GTFO.

Wo0tage!!! A solution to a problem that doesn't exist!!!

Plenty of other threads on same topic.

Since afk is so bad why don't you petition that we only earn sp while logged on?

Confirming OP is terrible for the all the obvious reasons

for me the problem is to have players not present in front of their screen that penalizes all other players, it's all for me a total aberration of gameplay, AFK = BOT for me, it is completely identical to mining BOT because it breaks the game play

the idea here is to always allow the use of their bonus every ship and module specific cloak over long period (several hours), but with a human player front display

while allowing other players to be able to get rid of the player cloaked with difficulty, if the player is really in front of the screen, or with facility if this is no longer in front of the screen, and that is simply to annoy others.

Seriously though Line Khagah, if you know they are cloaked and AFK... why don't you just go about your business? or go to another system? no troll.

Search. Needs more searching.

I'm a real player because I don't dock up as soon as someone comes into system. JUST SAYING.

disclaimer: I didn't read OP's post, only the title.


Solutions:

Try to bait the cloaker out.

or

Realize (check) that he is afk, and don't give a damn. Just stay focused.
