Jawns.

Grow balls go out to your anomaly hit D-scan every few seconds (The Cloaker needs to find you as well) No Probes out, you're safe. D-scan picks up probes, check your mates, they're not probing, get the hell out of there.

Keep aligned will help as well, Sacrifice a mod for warp stabalisers. Find an escort.

Check the cloaker on his losses to get an idea of his fit and prepare.

If all above fails congratulate the not so afk cloaker on a job wel done.

the next 78 times you'll able to finish the anomaly and harvest a **** load of ISK.

Adversely - most of my kills are from when I was not at the keyboard People killing other people when they are not a the keyboard is a real problem.

I currently lived in null sec but I found that the AFK campers are really annoying.
Most of the time, I sit in the station and wait, and it is all of my day.
Can CCP do something about it or at least they can say something like "We are looking into it"?
Maybe making the cloak device need fuel to cloak?
I joined the game for 6 months only so I am not sure if I am the only one who feels that way.
I only have a couple of hours and i see a red camping our system and adjacent system 24/7 everyday.
I can't even watch TV in my quarters! :(

I don't really see the problem. So there is an AFK cloaked ship in the system. Sure, it's a shame that a player forgot to log out of EVE when he went to bed/work/potty. But even though it's a waste of electricity to have an unused PC flipped on - especially in our current economic/ecological climate - it's really not your fault and you shouldn't let it affect your gameplay.

If you are really concerned about it, just send him an eve-mail and explain how you feel about it.

Urban dictionary quotes the word "haze" as a type of illegal drug.

So I don't understand, the OP is being sold it? given it ? is smoking it???

Oh - just found another term - being bullied....

Now that surely is not right, because goons don't bully - DO THEY?

I've heard hazing defined as bullying by tradition.

I can't remember the last time I was attacked by a cloaked ship... wait I don't think that's even possible. You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.

I agree completely... player driven content means get off your ass and do something about it yourself...

There has been far to much bleating to CCP about stuff that players can fix themselves.
CCP has given you the tools:
- Dscan
- Probes: GTFO or man up and prepare for a hotdrop
- No probes: Shoot rocks, rats... whatever floats your boat

And I seem to remember that AFK cloaking keeps the bots away

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

Wait...let me get this straight, im having real trouble with this...

So what you are saying, is that CCP should break a perfectly good game mechanic because you are too scared to undock because somebody is in the system?

What the **** is WRONG with you? Seriously dude, this is not the game for you.

Contract all your assets to this toon, and dont forget the contents of your wallet before you biomass yourself and cancel your accounts.

.....geez, what is *wrong* with people these days?

Its easier to go to the forums, rage, QQ, spill tears (for others' enjoyment), rage again, threaten to quit

Than it is to grow a pair and HTFU

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

If there are hostile fleets flying around, this is risk.

The point is, these players are cloaked. You can do nothing or you cannot do anything to find him. It is just like a tumor in your head, but your doctor told you that it is cloaked so he cannot find it.

I rarely do CA or mining, but it is quite hard to answer to new corp members what they can do else if those cloaked campers present. I really want to invite some more people who newly joine the game to enter null sec, but it is just too difficult.

It is not hard, it's just a matter of intell and people capable to make 2 neurons work together but yes, some initial instruction is needed (if you live in null and no one learned you how yet, then you're in the wrong alliance and you'll loose everything you have sooner than later)
