I like to cloak up and enjoy the tranquility of your system for days at a time.

You should try this too.


It is such a pretty system too, I hope you enjoy the goatse nebula.

They say there are faces hidden in the shadows, their gaze gently caressing our people while we toil in the fields, waiting to open up their gateways and strike down the unsuspecting.
Sometimes days pass between killings, sometimes hours.

They say they are soldiers sent by an angry god.

What have we done to anger this being? What grievous sins have we committed to deserve the punishment of mourning over empty graves of fallen friends? To see our children pulled into the shadows, and their corpses thrown back at the feet of grieving parents?

We shout angrily at the skies above,

"CeeCeePee, what can we do to earn your love again and be delivered from this cruel fate?"

Only the sound of a cold winter wind responds, chilling the bones of a broken people.

And yet, despite the constant fear, the never ending sorrow, we tend to our fields, we continue to persevere in hopes that CeeCeePee will finally relent in his punishment, and deliver us to the promised lands.

Another gust of wind whistles through the branches of dying trees, the sound of laughter from an insane and uncaring god.

I don't mind aggressive cloakers. I don't think cloaks should be touched in null sec. But low sec needs to be reviewed. I'm tired of literally not being able to target people right after gate jumps just because they are cloakers. The only option you have to try and target them is mwd towards them, de cloak them and some how target and point them before they have warped off.

The coward users of cloaks needs to be put to an end, Aggressive cloakers engage pvp but cowards abuse the cloak and make it sanctuary from interactivty between other players. I vote a new bubble that interdictors can use and can be used in only Low sec that de cloaks or doesn't allow cloaks to be activated (Would not interact with the original gate cloak) so that way cowards don't just run from engagements ater they black ops hot dop you and you fight back with reinforcements.

make cloaks drain cap, simple as. Negate any effects cap regen mods have whilst cloaked, just so they cant be cap stable by fitting a crap load of regen mods. or have a cloak timer limit say 1hr

removing local prob makes it worse as you wouldnt even know people are in system, thus even more of a benefit for the afk cloaker.

All my views are my own - never be afraid to post with your main, unless you're going to post some dumb shit

I see your "people keep escaping my gate camp" whine and raise you a "people should be automatically podded if they try to enter lowsec". Or maybe, "if I catch them in a gate camp I should get their wallet balance".

PvP miners are whingers.

Treat cloakers as they would be active, that is all i have to say.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

I would say that I'm probably better at AFK cloaking than anything else I do in EVE. I can go AFK, have a smoke break, take a walk, dig in the fridge. Back to ATK, creep around cloaked, take screenies of people to add to my collection.

No ban my mini profession, eh?

You do realise that a dictor bubble or an anchored bubble can be used in null?. Inty sits with mwd on, spamming the overview. Decloak, inty is there in seconds, decloaks the cloaked guy, guy is fecked... nothing to fix here

Although one thing I think could be improved is nerfing of the align -> MWD - Cloak - Decloak - Warp trick.

Get out. I talked about low sec you talk about Null. Clearly rading comprehension is not your forte.

Clearly the decloaking bubble should be restricted to nullsec only.

That would nerf Null sec cloaking which is fine as it is. It's low sec cloaking that presents a problem.

Would it help if they jumped into your gate-camp, came to a stop and were unarmed?

You miss the point its the ultimate tool for a coward. Attack your pocos, cloak while you come to defend. Set up a hot drop, you counter drop, they cloak runaway. The only place they should be vulnerable is the same place every ship in the game is vulnerable. Quit pretending like battle ships and orcas dont get popped at gate camps. The counter to gate camps is a lot of warp stabs, feel free to learn the pro tip.
