Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hello fellow pilots!

As we all know, in the universe of the game, there are a lot of people who doesn't do anything but to run 10-15 or more alts, train them to drive a stealth bomber, and go to several hostile systems to sit there in afk and ruin the players game there. Most of the time these players alts are payed by they alliances with plex, so CCP don't gain money from it, but the players who buy ETC or subscribe for real money, these cloacky afk players ruin their games and desides to leave EVE-online.

My suggestion is to create a new item in the game. A special probe type that can scann cloacked ships. In my opinion that would solve this and only this problem, because scanning require some time, so in PVP operations where cloacky ships are in the move or stay put only a short period of time, it only be usefull againts people who sit in systems half or all days, weeks or months in a system in afk. Please consider this idea, and inform me of your opinion of it.

Ralph King-Griffin: That's not a solution neighter a constructive suggetion.

[quote=Electrique Wizard]There is no "problem" with cloaky afk players.
First, if they're AFK they can in no way pose a threat. Unless they're botting, which is against the EULA and you should report them it is impossible for AFK players to interact or harass you. AFK players cant perform actions.
Seconds, if they're cloaked they cannot activate any actions. It is impossible to activate any kind of module while cloaked. Thus, if someone is cloaked they pose no threat to your disgusting AFK ratting.

Please explain how a cloaked and afk player can perform actions against your character and submit a bug report.[/quot


The fact that you whrite is true. The threat that a cloacked ship mean, and what possible harm it could do to non combat players, thats is the problem. We dont know if a cloacky is afk or not, but the threat is there, so any activitie are imposible with cloacky players in the systems

Instead of everyone ranting why not try to give a real soultion to the individuals issues.

1. AFK Cloaking is not the problem you never know if the player is AFK
2. Cloaking is the central issue.

At present there is no counter to cloaking, whether player is AFK or not

Solution

AFK Cloaking = None its not an issue
Cloaking (in general) = module be it ship fitting or deployable that over time has a chance to disrupt the cloak of another vessel.
Cloaking module itself = add a capacitor requirement to it that prevents a ship recharging its cap and drains it also at a slow rate while active.

Rants may now recommence

Delete local in nullsec is the best solution. Making nullsec more fun and not just a saver highsec without concord.

Oh and btw, welcome to Anti-Cloaking-Thread number 395482395823580.

Incorrect. Someone had to originally buy the PLEX that they consumed, hence CCP have already had the money for that month's sub.

How does money work?

I cloaky camp some nearby Russians. They dock up /log off /move system.
In revenge they cloaky camp our base.
we run sigs/ anoms/collect PI as normal and ignore them.
people who can't do PVE with hostiles in local shouldn't be living in null.

In fact the other day one of them probed down a plex i was running and warped their cov ops onto grid with my tengu.
they were out of range and cloaked up.
i warped out and then warped back into my plex. I refired on the final station thus doing 6k EM damage to everything on grid.
then i looted the sisters expanded probe launcher from his wreck. It was a better drop than the dread gurista droped.
This was 2 jumps from his alliance home system in space owned by his alliance.
I tell this story so you realise that cloaky campers are a problem that any null group should be able to deal with easily.
HTFU.

right this is YET ANOTHER!! cloak afk thread and deserves all the crap and trolling anyone puts here because you're too lazy to post in another of the other dozen threads exactly the same. Here is the thing i'm not going to be a troll or give you crap about being too lazy to post in the other threads I am going to ask you a few simple questions which should have a simple answers.

How do afk people in any way affect another persons game play?
Since your alliance is NRDS* if they're alts and you don't know who owns the for sure how come you've set them red?
If they're afk alts and they're not set red they shouldn't be a problem so how are they ruining peoples game?

* the term NRDS should not be applied to cva in my opion since they have basically set all of eve red
