Cloaking is fine as is, as has been explained by so many others. Now, this thread wants me to have a cloak (real, clothe version) with text "AFK" printed on it in the back.

You act as if the only way you can pve in nullsec is with minmaxed pve turdboats.

That's not the case, semi-pvp fit ships can do the job just fine. It might be a bit less efficient, but thats the trade off for the added safety.

Or you can continue PVEing in minmaxed ships if you like, just don't be surprised when you're up a creek without a paddle when someone commences pvp


mining tengu?
haul with an nagga

You do know that if you grab a group of corp members...you can rat in PvP ships.

I have done it in the past with group of stealth bombers.

Okay, you ahve to share the bounties...so carebears won't like that idea.

That's like when high sec miners whine about suicide ganker alts, hilarious. Bear
Working as intended get friends to protect you when you mine/rat, deal with it., if anything CCP should buff cloaks.

You just are like all the typical carebears in null that complain when they can't make their ISK.


a) Cloaked ships dont show up on D-scan

b) whats wrong with wanting to make lots and lots of isk ?

now minimize local in null-sec....you have W space system, if you don't see them...they aren't there

But. Carebears don't like that, it messes up their sense of security.


My point exactly, you can't know that there is a guest in local in wormhole space unless they are uncloaked (and you are mashing D-Scan), you have a scout on a wormhole keeping track of who comes in/out, and the fact that you can control the entryways to the wormhole through collapsing connections with the added benefit of no cynos able to be lit.

So again, it is comparing two cats of a different coat, something you seem to not be able to understand.

Remove Local, problem solved. Dont hear much afk cloaking whining from the wh croud. No local seemed to have fixed it for em.


Except for the fact that, as it has been mentioned before in other threads, that wormholes are unique in a variety of ways; you actually have to probe down the wormhole entrance, the wormhole can collapse and reshuffle to another position, and you cannot cyno in a wormhole system, which prevents drops and such.

So, comparing the tired old argument of local/cloaking in lowsec/nullsec vs. wormhole space is pointless given that they are not equal.



Yes they are different, but many aspects of the comparison still hold true.

You don't need hotdrops in WH space because you can sneak an entire cloaky fleet in undetected. I'd say hotdrops are a side efffect of local as well, trying to storm in from a gate spikes local giving people time to react.

Yea wormholes collapse, others show up. Unless you want to sit inside all day from downtime there is generally no way to be absolutely sure you are alone in a system.

Bottom line however is that WH folk have learned how to deal with these situations and manage to leave their POS shields anyway.


Very true.

On the other hand, for all of those people to come through the wormhole, they need to find it and smuggle there way in first; this can be observed by someone with an observing character in a cloaked ship on the wormhole, which gives time to react in such a situation. Whereas in nullsec, they can be in an entirely different region sitting on a titan/black ops battleship waiting for the cyno lighter to say that they are ready, and suddenly you have ships everywhere without the possibility of knowing that they were forming up.

Again, nullsec and wormhole space cannot really be compared to each other because they were built and designed differently from each other, and removing local from the game won't fix the problem, as it is a very shortsighted "fix".


Yes, only if you have eyes on the WH. On the other hand, unless you are watching all day you'd never know. Since Jump statistics no longer exist for WH space you cannot even go to a map resource and see if anyone has jumped in or out during the day

And no I am not saying as a result that the complete removal of local is the "fix" as WH space is designed differently. Personally I think local should be some player driven thing. So like in HS, local is driven by the technology in place by concord and works everywhere.

In LS maybe local would only work within a certain distance of NPC structures (namely gates and stations).

in 0.0 local would be driven by some sort of SOV structure, which would mean that maybe you could get local in certain systems but not all, or it would work partially depending on upgrades. Either way it at least makes local less "perfect" with some dead spots where someone could hide.

and mine in your pvp ships
and haul in your pvp ships
and you can only play when a bunch of friends are on

all because 1 toon is in local and could be afk (no threat) or could be ready to hotdrop a well equiped fleet on your ass (big threat)

you have to assume the latter if you are wise or frugal or in tune with murphys law -- so now 1 toon with no cost to themselves forces a whole bunch of other peple to adapt to their presence - with no risk to themselves, to no cost to themselves, without having to have pvp ships or corp m8s .. because of their potential threat. over powered indeed.
