EVE General Discussion

The point is that NS is NOT dangerous. It is PERFECTLY SAFE, if you are in a cloaked ship that doesn't want to be found.

Yeah, I guess so. I spent so long in w-space, I wish they just would remove local from just about everywhere but hi sec. Maybe with a few caveats or whatever, but just kill it :D. I still reflexively hit cloak and d-scan when jumping through a star gate.

30 bombers cloaked on a gate...after 5 minutes they disappear from local. Lone scout jumps in a reports system is clear. Orca or frieghter pilot jumps into system. 30 bombers decloak and OMGWTFBBQ the freighter.

Nope, cant image ANY tears from that. Sounds like a good mechanic. lets do it.

that must be some good isht you keep smoking, because you keep trying to twist reality to fit your preconceived notions.

You don't dislike cloaky mechanics because they are"un-eve like, you dislike them because they make Null sec to scary for you to stomach. If you say otherwise you're simply a grown ass man lying on a video game forum LOL.

As I've said, thousands of us "live" in null everyday. I do anoms in upgraded systems every single night unless i get bored with it and do something else. This proves that there is nothing wrong with cloaky campers because they can be avoided and the spice isk keeps flowing.

But , rather than come up with creative ways to combat the problems, you tucked tail and ran to high sec, because a video game is too hard. your campaigning for ccp to bring gameplay down to a less scary level for you is pretty darn weak man.

AFK is working as intended. If I want to be logged in but not actually have to play the game while simultaneously effecting other people that are actively playing, then I should be allowed to do that. I pay my subscription to not play the game any way I want.

What is your problem...you don't like someone's idea so you sit here post after post thinking of new ways in which to insult them....YOU are what is wrong with this game your attitude is pathetic. You got your point across that you disagree now move on and stop boring the rest of us with your elitist crap.

To the OP +1 all this psychology crap of being able to sit safely up with no chance of being detected is a bit too safe...at very least people should be able to scan you down.

OK, wait, there is a possibility here.

I like the idea of space depth charges. Wide, low damage explosions meant to de-cloak ships. They could also create a mechanic where cloaked ships need to be scanned down, then the "depth charge" is fired in the area, ship is de-cloaked and can be attacked.

Probably not what the AFK club is looking for as it requires active play, but a fun thought nonetheless.

Oh yeah - Nerf NullSec!

tbh.. nullsec is pretty ****...blob pvp/sov grind/semi afk cloaky's

I kinda liked it when ol' replicator was around. I made a lot more isk because all my competition was docked.

But afk cloaking does have an effect on the game without the person having to even be in their house. They can be off working, sleeping, or drinking at the bar, meanwhile the people that are ratting/whatever in that system have to use extra precautions to go about their business.

As a result, isk making is slowed down by a person that is absent (sometimes 23/7) because of possible threat. That does mean that a person who is not at their keyboard, and sometimes not even at their house is having an effect on the game in slowing down the economy.

But they only way it actually bothers me personally is that eventually the military index may go down.

There would not be any tears from pilots losing orcas as you describe above... because


1) the scout would do a dscan
2) the orca would not have been in the prior system, because there without local no miners would be in null anyway. Dscan does not give near enough time to get away before those stealth bombers would land and blow up the exhumers. No exhumers, no need for an orca.
