New idea: the module is a SOV or large POS module. It can only be used in null-sec and wormholes. The module is expensive, uses the strontium or some other material, has a delay of 15 minutes, and - the most important thing - when activated it does a system wide announcement that it has been activated, then after 1-3 minutes all ships (enemy or not) in system are decloacked.

In this way, the campers, if they are not AFK, can simply re-activate their cloak. You can see this does not hurt the gameplay of covert ops ships or bombers in any way, because of the announcement, it only hurts AFK campers.

If CCP is against doing any activity in EVE while AFK, then I think you can agree with this. Cloaked camping is an activity. The announcement before activation would mean that non-AFK campers or other covert ops ships (bombers) are not affected in any way.

Also it would make owning sov, or a large tower a little more valuable, strategic importance, etc.

Also it would make owning sov a little more valuable...

Cloaked camping is an inactivity not an activity.
And there is nothing wrong with it.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Ok, I posted in the sticky (sorry).

Camping is an activity, it does something to someone, and that someone can't do anything.
It could be - a preparation to hot-drop, and it is. Doing this afk is not ok. But I posted in the other thread, continue there please.

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.
