--------------Provide a counter to cloaking/cloaked ships

---------- cloaking, fleets, balance

Note: I believe cloaking is one of the few things in this game that doesn't have a proper counter and that gameplay could be expanded/improved if one were provided. I don't believe this necessarily requires a change to the cloaking device itself (eg requiring fuel/capacitor), for example, see my suggestion here. However, I'm open to any ideas provided by more experienced game developers/designers. Some other popular ones I've seen include POS mods that would provide a system scan, or "depth charges" from a new module.

There is an absolute counter to cloaking that works every time it is employed: proximity.

Suggestion: all two and three item dropdown lists become buttons or tabs
Keywords: UI
Note: It's a shame that we need two mindboggingly accurate clicks to switch between corp and personal fits, for example. Just make it tabs or, even better, 64*64 buttons (corp logo and my face).

Suggestion: stronger authentication info in IGB HTTP headers
Keywords: API, Trusted sites
Note: currently, it's easy to forge character name in HTTP session, so we can't rely on IGB "trusted site" mechanism. Add something like
HTTP_EVE_SIGNED example.com "Character Name" "cryptographic mumbo jumbo generated from previous two strings"
So example.com could test if it is really signed with CCP key (public key available) and it's not some MitM forgery.

Suggestion: shared station container service, access list like ingame chat.
Keywords: Assets, Permissions, POS
Note: ISK pre-paid service, with regular impound mechanism. Wider permissions, more isk. Also could utilize "Alliance roles" from https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3342126#post3342126
And POS module, too.

Suggestion: finer chat access permissions, with roles
Keywords: Chat
Note: example: chat where only current directors and those who have access to "Corp hangar #7" could talk, but everybody in corp could join and read. Did I mention "alliance roles" in that? https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3342126#post3342126

Suggestion: ingame chat channel expiration
Keywords: Chat
Note: There is plenty of cool channel names that are already taken by those who don't play anymore. If nobody in charge (owner or moderator) join for six months, drop it.

Suggestion: fleet-wide watchlist, with notes
Keywords: Fleet
Note: fleet boss add names and titles like "scout 1", "warpout", and this list automatically distributed to fleet members.

Suggestion: better and streamlined list copy
Keywords: UI
Note: currently, some ingame list allow selecting and copying (chat members, dscan result, assets), some allow only copying (fleet composition) and some not allowing it at all (overview). Please make it (click to select, ctrl-a to select all, ctrl-click and shift-click to select some, ctrl-c and drag to copy) available to each ingame list. I'd prefer user-defined button "post this list to some third party service", but maybe it opens too much for automation (such as localchat-aware bot)

Suggestion: editable fits, converged with "ship attributes" pane
Keywords: UI, Fits
Note: everything is already included in game, you just need to add drag-and-dropping modules to saved fits, and add attributes pane from current ship fitting window to saved fits, and we'll have EFT in game.

Suggestion: optionally add cargo modules to fit DNA
Keywords: UI, Fits
Note: some fleet doctrines include "quick refit" modules, like resist or ewar. Also, cap modules in fleet hangar. Maybe just add "save full fit" button that saves everything that belong to current ship.
