I think we pretty much agree that afk cloakers are a problem. So how about this-

Compounding capacitor use per cycle.

Example- 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 cap use

Now you ask what about ships who are supposed to use cloaks? Add in a bonus, either flat or per t2 skill. But at the same time, balance it out so a ship that is SUPPOSED to cloak can do so for about an 1.5 hours with out specialized fitting.

Sound good?

No, they're not, and no it doesn't.

Contract your stuff and/or ISK to me, un-install the client, and go pay-to-win in Black Prophecy or LotRO, it's clearly more your speed.

Lol, at this time I'm the one who's cloaked. I'm staring at my capacitor recharging and thought to myself why can I set here and do this with out penalty.

Perhaps start a new alt, go run missions in jita. You'll get used to seeing neutrals in local. You'll get used to how to deal when people you don't know are even trying to, probe you down and warp to you. You'll realize the people you never see, and never interact with you, really don't change your play one little bit.

edit: OP feels stupid for posting, then claims to be the afk cloaker wanting to be self-nerfed.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

You don't apostrophise when you pluralise.

If you have a problem with afk cloakers.

Just minimize local, then you won't have to be scared of someone who is not at there computer.

Easily fixed

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

AFK Cloaking is great, it's the only mechanic in the game that makes PVE possible in hostile space without spending hours warping from safespot to safespot to save ship. Meaning we still have ninja-explorers / ninja-ratters and wormhole ninjas in the game.

Keep it, just as it is.

No, we most certainly not all agree that AFK cloakers are a problem.

AFK cloakers cant do **** to you, they can't even actively report intel on you.

Cloaks are working as intended. Move on and find something else to do.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

As a pubbie, I have to ask: is this fuzz about afk-cloakers just about seeing a non-blue name in local and fearing that every second, this cloaker could come back to the keyboard and stalk you? Honest question.

How about something easier and less detrimental to regular cloak users? Add a tachyon probe for probe launchers that lets you scan down cloaked ships. Long scan time and low signature strength so people on the move are fine, but those at rest for long periods are sitting ducks...

That reminds, my AFK cloaking alt is almost done training.

Which system needs additional surveillance?

what system are you getting afk cloaked in?

i will go take care of the afk cloakers by counter-afk cloaking them

npc alts have no opinions worth consideration
